Le destin de l'Amerique, ou, Dialogues pittoresques : dans lesquels on developpe la cause des evenemens actuels, la politique et les interets des puissances de l'Europe relativement a cette guerre : et les suites qu'elle devroit avoir pour le bonheur de l'humanité / traduit fidelement de l'anglois. To maintain by fire and sword, dominion over the persons and the property of a people out of the realm, who have no share in its legislature, contradicts every principle of liberty and humanity. If we neither can govern the Americans nor be governed by them; if we can neither unite with them, nor ought tot subdue them what remains, but to part with them on as friendly terms as we can.

Part of
The Sid Lapidus '59 Collection on Liberty and the American Revolution
After nearly 60 years of collecting, Sid Lapidus ’59 has presented to the Library more than 2700 volumes representing the fruits of his enthusiasm. Broadly conceived, the collection charts the definition and re-definiton of rights and liberties endemic to Western political traditions. The main focus is texts and documents relating to the American Revolution, its run-up dating back to the Commonwealth men, and coming down to documents of the early Federal government.
