The additional Recherches by the translator cover the pages 83-end of volume 2. For the period before 1790 the travel accounts as given by Young form an important part of the economic literature, owing to the absence of regular reporting by permanent agencies: see at length: Schumpeter, History of economic analysis. - With an engraved bookplate on the front paste-down of each volume.
