About This Item
[4], 36 pp.Letter by the French colonialist and plantation owner Pierre Victor Malouet (1750-1814) to a French(?) member of the parliament, which he wrote as "deputy of the colony of Saint-Domingue". Saint-Domingue (now called Haiti) was a former French colony, until its independency in 1804. In this letter, Malouet describes the importance of America and colonies as Saint-Domingue for Europe and he also particularly gives attention to the merits of the American colonies and the poltical and economical implications of losing them. It was published during the Haitan Revolution (1791-1804), when self-liberated slaves revolted against the French colonial rule. Malouet is known as a counter-revolutionary colonist, who also signed for example the Whitehall Accord of 19 February 1793, which was an angreement that allowed colonist at Saint-Domingue as Malouet to maintain slavery, which was abolished by the French government.With the library stamp of "Fürstlich-Starhemberg'sche Familien Bibliothek Schloss Eferding" and three perforations in the inner margins throughout the whole book, close to the binding. Binding slightly worn, front hinge a little cracked, but otherwise still in good condition.l Pestel, Kosmopoliten wider Willen: die "monarchiens" als Revolutionsemigranten (2015), p. 529; Sabin 44147.
