Note
Goldsmiths 12007; Einaudi 4648; Phillips 652; Kress B 314; Chadenat 1960; Peignot, Livres condamnés II, p.71; Sabin 68081: "A large part of this work is said to have been written by Diderot, and others. The sentiments and criticisms contained in it prevented its publication in France (...). The book was condemned by the French parliament and church dignitaries, and Raynal was obliged to leave France." Borba de Moraes p.700: "Raynal's work had enormous repercussions in his time. It is rightly considered to be one of the books which most influenced the French Revolution. Raynal used extensively the advice and even the collaboration of Diderot, Holbach, and other contemporaries. (...) The work appeared in more than thirty editions in twenty years (...) [first published anonymously in Amsterdam, 1770]. This Geneva edition is the best and most beautiful." Blanqui p.76: "C'est lui qui a porté les premiers et les plus rudes coups à l'esclavage colonial." En français dans le texte 166: "(...) radicalisée par les interventions de Diderot en 1780. (...) une dénonciation parfois violente de l'esclavage et de l'exploitation des colonies par les métropoles." The atlas contains 2 worldmaps, the continents Europe, Asia and Africa, 11 maps of Europe (incl. map 17 bis), 5 of Africa, 7 of Asia and 23 of America.
