MALOUET Pierre-Victor Examen de cette question : Quel sera pour les colonies de l’Amérique le résultat de la Révolution françoise, de la guerre qui en est la suite, & de la paix qui doit la terminer ?

Sabin, 44146.

First edition, very rare.

Pierre-Victor Malouet (1740-1814), owner of large sugar cane and coffee plantations in Santo-Domingo in the commune of Maribaroux, was one of the leaders of the Partie Constitutionnelle party in the French Constituent Assembly and signed the Treaty of Whitehall in London in 1793 between the large French sugar planters and England. At the time this study went to press, he was a deputy for the colony of St. Domingue.

There is another Paris edition of the same date (title and 40 pp.), printed ‘according to a copy printed in London’, which Sabin describes but which Monglond missed. This French edition is much less rare. The John Carter Brown Library owns a mutilated copy of the Paris edition only.

A very fine copy.

Provenance: Fürst Starhemberg (rubber stamp) – Arpad Plesch (bookplate).
