Notes

This French translation of more than 30 poems by Helen Maria Williams, including ones on her real and imaginary travels: "Sonnet sur la ligne équinoxiale”; “Les glaciers des Alpes”; “Hymne, composé au milieu des Alpes”; and “Nouvelle Américaine.” Charles Pougens, the scholar, writer and friend of Williams, arranged the translations specifically for this edition. Most of the poems were not published in English until 1823.
