A Paris, chez Pillot frères, libraires, sur le Pont-neuf, n. 5, an XI.-1802, in-18 (mm. 139x85), br. muta ottocentesca, pp. XII, [1], da 14 a 175, [1]. Con ritratto di Toussaint-Louverture inciso in rame in antiporta. François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture (Port-Margot, 20 maggio 1743 – Fort-de-Joux, 7 aprile 1803), fu un rivoluzionario haitiano afroamericano. Ex schiavo, guidò la rivolta degli schiavi di Saint-Domingue (oggi Haiti). Il suo acume militare e politico seppe salvare gli ideali della prima rivoluzione haitiana del novembre 1791. Combatté prima per gli spagnoli contro la Francia e poi per la Francia contro Spagna e Gran Bretagna. Infine combatté per Haiti contro la Francia napoleonica. Risultò fondamentale nella trasformazione dei primi moti di ribellione in una vera e propria rivoluzione che nel 1800 scoppiò a Santo Domingo, la più prospera colonia di schiavi dell'epoca che si trasformò nella prima vera e propria società libera coloniale con l'esplicito rifiuto della razza come base di scala sociale. Esistono diverse varianti (o contraffazioni?) dell'edizione di Pillot, impressa nel 1802 e che dovrebbe essere la prima. Tutte recano 1802 come data di stampa ma variano: la datazione rivoluzionaria (anno X o anno XI), il ritratto (la figura, riprodotta di tre quarti, è volta a destra o a sinistra), le linee di stampa sul frontespizio, la presenza o meno sul frontespizio del nome dell'autore ed infine il numero di pagine. Il nostro esemplare corrisponde ad una delle varianti conservate alla National Library of Israel: il ritratto è volto verso la propria destra; il nome dell'autore non è presente in frontespizio; la data rivoluzionaria è: an XI; le pagine sono 175; la citazione in frontespizio ("Les abstractions et le vains theories [...]", è impressa su quattro linee di testo invece che su due. Mancanza al margine bianco inferiore di una carta, gore marginali al ritratto e alle prime carte del volume. Raro.
