Excerpt from France and the United States: Historical Review
At a meeting of the Massachusetts Historical Society, held Oct. 12, 1876, the President (Hon. Robert C. Winthrop) communicated an English translation of the "Conclusions Historiques," which our Foreign Honorary Member, Count Adolphe de Circourt, had appended to the second volume of the "Histoire de l'Action Commune de la France et de l'Amerique pour l'Independance des Etats-Unis, par George Bancroft."
In offering this communication, the President said that it was well remembered by us all that the last volume of Mr. Bancroft's elaborate "History of the United States" dealt largely and minutely with the alliance between France and the United States in 1778, under a treaty in the negotiation of which our own Franklin had played so distinguished a part, and which had always been so prominently associated with the ultimate success of our struggle for Independence. That volume had naturally attracted attention in France; and M. de Circourt, with the concurrence of his friend, Mr. Bancroft, had translated it into the French language, and had published it as an independent work, in three volumes, under the title which has been given. The French translation was accompanied by notes, and by a large mass of hitherto unpublished original documents, which had been kindly furnished by Mr. Bancroft for the purpose.
