This work intended for an American readership as stated in the Preface ""L'espèce de journal dont nous offrons ici le premier essai ne contiendra que rarement des analyses d'ouvrages nouveaux mais une suite de morceaux détachés qui nous paraîtront le plus propre à faire connaître au public américain le goût actuel des différentes littératures de l'Europe"" is in fact far more than a literary collection offering a genuine overview of the state of the world political artistic geographical etc. during the Consulate and the rise of the future emperor. Alongside the 12 charming engravings it contains documents which though modest in extent are of considerable interest: a short notice on Toussaint-Louverture just after proclaiming a constitution granting him full powers for life; a portrait of the inhabitants of Benin drawing on the then unique work of Palissot Beauvois; a brief notice on Abbé Sicard educator of the deaf and mute; a ""portrait de Bonaparte"" at the very moment his fame was beginning to spread; an overview of ""Journaux et gazettes politiques dans les États-Unis de l'Amérique""; and various literary pieces.

Signed by hand in ink at the end: "A monsieur / Boré / je suis".</p><p>An extremely rare copy of the terms and conditions for the capture of Malta by Napoleon dated June 12 1798. This document was printed in Malta and is possibly the first item produced under the French regime. Although it lacks an imprint the National Library of Malta has confirmed its origin. We have found no copies of this treaty in any digital catalogues including those of France WorldCat KvK or other major repositories.</p><p>Following the capture of Italy Napoleon maintained strict secrecy regarding the destination of his next campaign. While it was known that he had assembled the largest expeditionary fleet ever seen in the Mediterranean its destination remained unclear. In a surprising move the fleet arrived at Malta on June 6th and within a matter of days the island was captured. The capitulation as outlined in this treaty was negotiated between Malta represented by the Knights Hospitaller the French Republic represented by Citizen General-in-Chief Bonaparte and the Spanish Crown as mediator. To control the flow of information the French immediately seized the only printing press on the island and relocated it to the former Chancellory of the Order. The press originally known as Stamperija di Sua Altezza Serenissima was renamed Imprimerie Nationale. During the French occupation Giovanni Mallia who had been working at the press since 1763 continued to manage the printing office and remained in his position until the end of French rule in Malta in 1800.</p><p>Among the press's notable outputs was the publication of Malta's first newspaper Journal de Malte printed in two columns: one in French and the other in Italian. Only ten issues of this newspaper were ever published. A comparison of the typographic features of the Journal de Malte and this treaty reveals striking similarities particularly in the initial "L" used in the treaty which matches that in the title of the Journal de Malte. We have scans of the Journal available upon request. This combined with the treaty's extreme rarity and its absence from the French Collective Catalogue strongly suggests that it was printed in Malta rather than in France. The National Library of Malta through correspondence and the expertise of Prof. William Zammit has confirmed our suspicions. Prof. Zammit is currently developing a comprehensive retrospective bibliography of all works printed in Malta between 1642 and 1800. The treaty appears to have been printed in France for the first time in 1801 in Pièces diverses et correspondance relatives aux opérations de l'armée d'Orient en Égypte; imprimées en exécution de l'arrêté du Tribunat en date du 7 nivôse an IX de la République française Paris Baudouin Messidor an IX = June 1801.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> creased and frayed at the margins old fold with marginal tear.
