"Tableau du climat et du sol des États-Unis d'Amérique" by C.-F. Volney is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. The work presents a detailed examination of the geography, climate, and natural resources of the United States, based on extensive travels and observations made by the author. It aims to provide insights into the country's environmental characteristics and their implications for societal development. The beginning of the book introduces the author's motivations for exploring the United States, reflecting on his earlier travels and the contrasting state of Europe at the time. Volney outlines his research methodology, which involves a thorough study of the climate, laws, inhabitants, and social customs of the region. He sets a framework for discussing the geographic situation of the U.S., including its vast territory, and hints at his analysis of regional climates and their effects on the habits and cultures of its diverse populations. In this opening section, Volney expresses his intent to correct misunderstandings in European literature about the American character and sheds light on the natural and political landscape of the young nation.
