Description
Originally published Amsterdam, 1770.
Edition in 10 volumes in octavo, with 19 books of text and a frontispiece illustration in each volume (including a portrait of Raynal in v.1), as well as 23 tables. A companion volume, consisting of 50 maps and 25+[3] pages of text, was published under the title: Atlas de toutes les parties connues du globe terrestre, dressé pour l'Histoire philosophique et politique des établissemens et du commerce des Européens dans les deux Indes / Rigobert Bonne. [Geneva, 1783].
According to various sources, the following persons provided substantial information and collaborated with Raynal in the writing of the text: Denis Diderot; Jean Pechméja; Paul Henri Dietrich Holbach; Paulze; J. Dutasta; and abbé Martin.
Authorship of book 19 (v. 10) sometimes exclusively assigned to Alexandre Deleyre; other sources state text partly written by Raynal and partly by Deleyre, while yet different sources report Deleyre as editor of book 19. This book is also known under the title: Tableau de l'Europe.
