1449Editions Michel Lévy frères, 1850. Relié (16 x 23,5 cm) de XXIII-302 pages. Reliure demi-maroquin rouge à coins, dos à nerfs, titre et tête dorés. Couvertures conservées (Reliure de L. Claessens). Quelques rousseurs sinon bel exemplaire. Édition originale de la première oeuvre dramatique de Lamartine. On lit au verso du faux-titre: "Représenté pour la première fois à Paris sur le théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin, le 6 avril 1850. Les vers marqués d'un astérisque ont été supprimés à la représentation." A la suite de la pièce "De l'émancipation des esclaves, discours prononcés à diverses époques par M. A. de Lamartine" (23 avril 1835, 25 mai 1836, 10 février 1840 et 10 mars 1842). Au lendemain de la révolution de 1848 à laquelle il avait participé et qui scellait l'abolition définitive de l'esclavage, Lamartine, qui avait pleinement compris la force symbolique du personnage de Toussaint-Louverture, attendait beaucoup de cette pièce tout comme le Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin en perte de vitesse. Le rôle titre et la mise en scène avaient été confiés à Frédérick Lemaître (1800-1876), consacrant ainsi le retour sur le devant de la scène de l'acteur vedette du Boulevard du crime.Ex-lbris monogrammé non identifié portant la devise Labor omnia vincit improbus.

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.

46404990Lettre d’une page sur un double feuillet in-4 à en-tête de la République d’Haïti, avec sa fonction imprimée “B. Inginac, Général de Brigade, Secrétaire Général près de Son Excellence le Président d’Haïti”.Joseph-Balthazar Inginac (1775 - 1847) est un personnage éminent de la jeune république d’Haïti, il fut chargé, à partir de 1804, d’élaborer le code Rural afin d’exploiter les terres reprises aux colons. Il a occupé divers postes sous Petion et Boyer, notamment celui de secrétaire particulier de Pétion à partir de 1810, poste qu’il conserva sous Boyer. En charge des relations extérieures et de l’instruction publique, il eut à mener des missions diplomatiques délicates avec l’Angleterre et les États-Unis afin de donner une reconnaissance internationale à Haïti. Nommé chef d’escadron et aide de camp du président en 1811, il fut successivement promu colonel, puis général de brigade et enfin, en 1839, général de division. Il a, en particulier, négocié l’accueil à Haïti de noirs étasuniens. En 1839, il fut l’un des commissaires chargés de négocier un traité de commerce avec la France. Pour des raisons indépendantes de ses compétences, la plupart de ses missions furent des échecs, mais son sens de la diplomatie, son intelligence et son dévouement à la cause de son pays a marqué tous ses interlocuteurs. Il fut brièvement banni suite au renversement de Boyer, puis rappelé en 1845.La lettre est adressée à M. Jullien, homme de lettres à Paris. Ce dernier lui avait recommandé un M. Dubois pour un poste auquel Inginac l’avait embauché et pour lequel il offrait toute satisfaction. Mais alors qu’il commençait son travail il fut frappé par “la maladie du pays à laquelle il n’a pu résister malgré les soins qui lui ont été prodigués”. Un post-scriptum dit “M. Villevalix s’occupera sous peu de vous faire parvenir les renseignements que vous demandez”. Le correspondant est sans doute Marc-Antoine Jullien (1775 - 1848), révolutionnaire et homme de lettres qui, à cette époque, s’occupait de pédagogie. Jullien était un enthousiaste de la cause haïtienne, il dirigeait à cette époque la Revue Encyclopédique, revue qu’il avait fondée en collaboration avec son ami l’abbé Grégoire. Il a noté en tête de la lettre “rép. le 23 mai 1825 par M. Leblanc, instituteur. écrit le même jour à M. Boyer président d’Haïti et Villevalaix.”

1796WRCAM52307Port-au-Prince 1796. 4 x 9 1/2 inches completed in manuscript docketed on verso. Minor toning and edge wear. Very good. A rare pay order for supplies made out to Baron Jean-Charles de Montalembert on behalf of the invading British occupation force in Haiti. The document is signed by John Wigglesworth agent to the Commander of the British forces in Haiti and later Britain's envoy to the leader of the Haitian Revolution Touissant Louverture. By early the next century Louverture would become ever so briefly chief of the first free Black Republic in Haiti. The payee Montalembert has docketed the verso with an additional docket in French transferring the funds to Dutilh & Wachsmuth a Philadelphia mercantile house. <br> <br> St. Domingo the French part of Haiti was a highly prosperous sugar coffee and cotton slave-estate island whose produce was described as exceeding that of the whole of the British Leeward and surrounding islands. In 1789 it was said to consist of 10000 white people 24000 free mixed-race people and 455000 negro slaves. Although free local laws decreed that mixed-race individuals could not accept any office or employment other than as planters. As news spread of the revolution this group revolted but were roundly defeated. Part of the white response to the uprising was to create their own local assembly which excluded those of mixed race and resolved to transfer the island's allegiance to Great Britain whereupon France sent Commissioners who according to some reports recruited negroes to fight the whites. <br> <br> Starting in August 1791 the slaves revolted in many towns implementing major massacres and destruction of estates and establishing free communities of their own. They were led by Touissant Louverture an ex-slave who later joined the French army after the country abolished slavery in 1793. Louverture swiftly rose to the rank of Commander in Chief of the French forces in Haiti and proved to be an effective leader. In 1794 the British army under the pretense of the Napoleonic war sent a force from Jamaica that occupied Port-au-Prince and some other towns a welcome development for the remaining white population on the island. This British force was commanded by General Sir Thomas Maitland of the 62 Foot Regiment for whom Wigglesworth was the army agent. <br> <br> In the end the British were not successful. By 1798 the army had been virtually wiped out by yellow fever and in April of that year Maitland withdrew the British forces from Haiti under a guarantee from Louverture that the remaining pro-British whites would be protected. In May 1801 Touissant established St. Domingo as an independent republic. This alarmed the French so badly that they subsequently sent an army of 25000 that recaptured the island within a year and then by a ruse conveyed Louverture to France where he soon after died in prison. <br> <br> Baron de Montalembert had commanded the Legion britaniques de Sainte-Domingue a force of 1200 men composed of white colonials recruits from Europe and possibly some free mixed-race Haitians. Montalembert's Grenadiers were one of the most dependable units fighting for the British until the aforementioned fever along with heavy casualties decimated the unit. They disbanded on June 25 1797. <br> <br> A rare early Haitian document signed by two principal figures in the British occupation during the Haitian Revolution. unknown books

A contemporary account of the only successful slave revolt in history which resulted in the foundation of a state ruled by those formerly enslaved on the French Caribbean island of St. Domingue now Haiti.
