More a novel than travel book, Fleuriot uses the frame of a travel memoir to attack the old institutions of Spain and Europe. An important enlightenment work, it drew the ire of Charles III and was banned - which only increased its popularity; six editions were published by 1803. Jefferson and Franklin's libraries each had a copy - the first edition is rare. Size: duodecimo (12mo). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Travel & Places; Literature & Literary. Inventory No: 045534.
