Possible dates of between 1795 and 1799 can be assumed from the text on p. 44 which reads: "Etat actuel de nos colonies à sucre... Dans son message pour l'envoi de nouveaux commissaires dans nos colonies, le Directoire s'exprime ainsi...". The Directoire exécutif exited as a legislative body from 1795 until 1799.

Concerns the French colonies not only in the Americas but also in the Asia, as well.
