| Authorship Notes |
Related to the trip to Brazil of a young diplomat, an unnamed pupil of Hauterive's diplomatic school. Suggests an observation method for human society, applicable to all aspects of the description of a country. In comments on taking notes follows contemporary archival technique. Towards the end of the text, reproduces Berchtold's table for description.
The copy in Bibliothèque municipale de Lyon (one of two available on Google books) includes two handwritten remarks on title page, "Blanc la Nautte" and "Hauterive". |
