Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Tableau Historique de la Marine Française: Depuis la Fondation de la Monarchie Jusques à Nos Jours A36 Tableau Izzfiorigue fplendeur. La politique a foment clé tourné les yeux de la mer pour les fixer fur la terre; mais toutes les fois que l'on a eu befoin de maîtrifer l'o céan la Méditerranée l'audace Fran gaife en a défié les périls. Les cir con?ances a&uelles m'anvuenr à rap pëller ce qui a été fait par nos pere's', pour faire connaître ce que nous fem mes en état d'exécuter. Il n'y a point de peuple qui pui?'e fe glorifier d'autant de traits héroï ques fur mer que les Français. Et fi quelquefois ils en ont abandonné l'em' pire à leurs voifins c'efi que la conf tituti0n nationale n'étant ni tout-à-fait militaire, ni tout - à-fait commerçante les forces le font portées fucce?ive ment fur les deux élémens, felon le befoin du moment. Les Romains les Carrhaginois fe difputcrent l'em pire de la mer par des modfs diffé rens. Les uns armerem des ?oues pour étendre leurs conquêtes les antre5 pour accumuler par leur induûrie com merçanre les tréfors du monde. Lés Romains après un mélange de revers de fuccès, eurent la fupériorké, parce que la pa?ion de la gloire fait de'la'mîzi'lne frêzn{àijè. 7 les Héros au 'lieu que l'amour des riche?e5' courbe l'âme vers la terre. Tyr Sidon, fieres.de leurs mon ceaux d'or, obéirem lâchenient 'aux maîtres qui encreprirenr de leur don ner des fers.' L'0pulenoe des Républi ques ne leur donne point une puif fauce réelle; c'efi avec le fer non avec l'or qu'on alïujettir les peuples.

François Henri Turpin
Edit ProfileEducation
He was first a professor at the university of his native town, then went to seek his fortunes in Paris, where he made some stir in philosophical circles, and especially in that of the magnificent Helvetius; but he was only enabled with difficulty to earn a livelihood by putting his pen at the service of the booksellers.
Career
He was first a professor at the university of his native town, then went to seek his fortunes in Paris, where he made some stir in philosophical circles, and especially in that of the magnificent Helvetius; but he was only enabled with difficulty to earn a livelihood by putting his pen at the service of the booksellers. He translated, or rather adapted from the English, Edward W. Montague's Histoire du gouvernement des anciennes republiques (1769), and wrote a continuation of Father Pierre Joseph d'Orleans, Histoire des revolutions d'Angleterre (1786). His Histoire naturelle el civile du royaume de Siam (1771) is an interesting but faulty adaptation of the observations of a vicar-apostolic who had lived for a long time in that country, and who accused Turpin of having misrepresented his ideas.
