Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. A Philosophical and Political History of the Settlements and Trades of the Europeans in the East and West Indies is an influential 18th-century historical treatise written by the French Enlightenment thinker Abbé Raynal (Guillaume-Thomas-François) with major contributions from the philosopher Denis Diderot.
