notes:
Chavannes de la Giraudière was a poor Lyonnais noble who was disinherited because he married beneath him. He was forced to leave France and lived in Brussels, London, Antwerp, and Amsterdam where he met John Adams, to whom this epic poem is dedicated. Much of the poem deals with events in the Netherlands. Chavannes hoped to emigrate to America, but never did.Engraver may be Louis Binet (1744-ca. 1800).
