About This Item
Paris: De l'Imprimerie de Testu, 1793. First Edition First Printing . Leather Bound. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Octavo. [iv], 176, 104, [1] pages. Hardcover rebound in full black leather (20th century). Modern gilt lettering on the spine, which as a couple of simple rules at the headcap and the foot of the spine. The book binder's receipt ("3.27" may suggest a 1927 rebinding, but it looks to be more likely from the 1950s; rebound by Joseph Ruzicka). Light wear to the binding. New endpapers. The old front flyleaf is laid in loosely and has a mid-20th century owner's bookplate attached. A sound copy. The text shows some toning but appears overall clean. The last leaf, an Errata, has some repairs on the fore edge. Text is in French. Jean-Baptiste Gabriel Larchevesque-Thibaud (1745-1817) was born on Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) and had a coffee plantation there. He was also a French politician and was a deputy to the Estates General of 1789. [King Louis XVI summoned the three Estates (the Clergy, the Nobility, and the Commoners) to address financial reforms of the Kingdom. When the Estates General ended, a National Assembly was created mostly by the Third Estate along with some members of the other two estates. This triggered the beginning of the French Revolution]. Saint-Domingue (now Santo-Domingo) was largely populated by slaves who serviced the sugar, indigo, and coffee plantations. In 1791 there was a slave uprising around Cap-Francois, the main commercial and cultural center. This was near where Columbus had founded his first settlement. Slavery was abolished in 1793, and the French ceded control in 1803, leading to the creation of Haiti.
