50.Valuable journal, of the highest importance for the history of that period, and particularly for that of America. In No. 30 of the year 1781 the editor, the renowned publisher and scholar E. Luzac says: Dès l'origine des tronbles en Amérique nous nous sommes attachés à recueillir dans notre feuille des mémoires pour l'histoire de la révolution Américaine." M. Luzac was in correspondence and on a friendly footing with John Adams, Franklin and other leading men of the revolution; strongly attached to the cause of America, he supported and promoted it by his widely circulated paper, written with eminent judgment and strict impartiality. The innumerable notices on America in this paper are therefore highly to be valued.
