Le destin de L'Amerique ou dialogues pittoresques [electronic resource] : dans lesquels on developpe la cause des evenemens actuels, la politique et les interets des puissances de L'Europe relativement a cette guerre, et les Suites Qu'elle Devroit Avoir pour le Bonheur de L'Humanit?, Traduit fidelement de L'Anglois.
