Description from source	[4], 67, [1] pages ; 22 cm. In original blue-grey paper wrapper, stitched at spine; uncut edges. Title in English: Of the colonization of convicts, and of the advantage there would be for France in adopting this measure A discussion of the merits and prospects of France adopting a system of colonial convict transportation similar to the British model, by French historian and statistician L.-F. Benoiston de Chateauneuf (1776-1856). The author makes significant use of the success of the penal system in New South Wales, and to a lesser extent, Van Diemen's Land and Melville Island off the northern coast of Australia, to support his argument for establishing French penal colonies on the Caribbean islands of Vièque, La Désirade and Saint-Martin.
