"Tocqueville read Cooper's novels (which along with those of Washington Irving, were well known in France) and in 1828 he ordered the Notions of the Americans Picked up by a Traveling Bachelor, in which Cooper, then living in Europe, looked at America through the eyes of an outsider. While serving as American consul, the novelist lived in France from 1826 to 1828 and again from 1830 to 1833. Through Lafayette he supplied Tocqueville with letters of recommendation to various Americans. End quote.
