Lacking only Combe no. 191.LA VIEILLE ARMEE FRANCAISE Armée de 1809:Ce nom recouvre un ensemble de 12 lithographies imprimées chez l'éditeur Motte d'Octobre 1820 à Février 1821. Ces pièces considérées comme parmi les meilleures de l'artiste dans le genre du costume militaire sont toutes rares ou très rares. Dans le catalogue du colonel de La Combe elles portent les numéros 187 à 195 197 199 et 201. Les numéros 196 1ère idée du numéro 195 200 première idée du numéro 199 et 198 n'ont été tirés qu'à 3 épreuves: elles sont donc rarissimes et on ne sait pas si elles existent encore; stricto sensu elles ne font pas partie de cet ensemble mais s'y rapportent directement.Dans le chapitre VI de sa biographie de l'artiste 1856 le colonel de La Combe écrit ce qui suit se rapportant à cette série:Ne retirant aucun avantage de ses nombreux travaux Charlet dut tenter la fortune près d'un nouvel éditeur. Il s'adressa à Motte qui demeurait alors rue des Marais. Motte excellent homme habile lithographe aimant les artistes ne fut pas pour Charlet un éditeur plus fructueux que ses prédécesseurs. C'est de son imprimerie que sont sortis plusieurs des plus beaux dessins de Charlet ; comme tant d’autres ils n'ont été tirés qu'à un très-petit nombre d’épreuves dans la conviction où était l'éditeur que ces épreuves ne seraient point vendues. La vieille Armée française suite de costumes d'Infanterie est une des plus énergiques créations de Charlet. Nous citerons entre autres le frontispice un vieux Sapeur le Sapeur en grande tenue le Porte–Drapeau ; ce sont des chefs-d’œuvre. S'ils les avaient copiés les statuaires de nos jours n'auraient pas donné si souvent ces types militaires ridicules qui décorent plusieurs de nos monuments. Paris: C. Motte, 1820-1821 hardcover

Lettering on spine is faded. Still a Very Nice Copy of this rare book with the fold out map in Very Good Condition. A comprehensive biography which details the life and times of the Haitian revolutionary though this work heavily translates and draws from Thomas Prosoer Gragnon-Lacostes 1877 French biography offering a deeply researched account of the Haitian Revolution and Toussaont Louvertures life. A nice copy of a very rare and highly sought-after historical biography. François Dominique Toussaint Louverture born into slavery in Saint-Domingue became a pivotal figure in the struggle for freedom from colonial oppression in the late 18th century. His early life was marked by a unique upbringing that included education from priests and a godfather who recognized his talents allowing him to rise through the ranks on a plantation. By 1791 amidst a backdrop of social and racial tensions he emerged as a leader during a massive slave rebellion against plantation owners. Toussaint's military acumen earned him the nickname "Louverture" which reflects his strategic skills in warfare. As a leader he sought to abolish slavery and create a prosperous society for all inhabitants of Hispaniola ultimately drafting a constitution that minimized French authority while maintaining the colony's ties to France. However his governance faced challenges particularly from Napoleon Bonaparte who dispatched troops to restore slavery. After a fierce struggle Toussaint was captured and exiled to France where he died in prison in 1803. Despite his controversial legacy Toussaint Louverture is celebrated as a liberator and a symbol of resilience and the quest for equality influencing the subsequent declaration of Haitian independence. His life and actions remain a testament to the complexities of the struggle for freedom and self-governance EBSCO Kuhn Paul E. 2024. Ward & Cobb, Lockport hardcover

Les Mœurs.

rif. 595851748. One of the first editions. Small 8vo. 16 x 9.5 cm. pp.16474. Contemporary full French red morocco sides ruled with three gilt fillets spine with gilt foliate decorations each compartment with central fleuron device gilt to centre green morocco label with gilt lettering gilt inner dentelles blue-coated endpapers all edges gilt. Engraved frontispiece and 4 engraved vignettes one to title-page the others at the beginning of each of the three parts. Ex libris Sir Thomas Dawson Brodie 1832–1896 Scottish lawyer and peer and progenitor of the Scottish law firm Brodies with his bookplate to front pastedown; and ex libris Robert J. Hayhurst chemist and bibliophile with his bookplate to the front free endpaper. Hayhurst's extensive collection included well-preserved 18th-century bindings. Old bookseller's label of Kerr Richardson Glasgow to rear pastedown. Some light browning generally an excellent copy of this important Enlightenment work in handsome contemporary French binding. Originally attributed to Diderot with whom Toussaint was a close collaborator for the early volumes of the Encyclopédie Les Mœurs was the first work to openly formulate the morality of secular and humanitarian happiness and under the guise of a roman à clef to unapologetically promote a universal virtue freed from religion. It shook the foundations of French society and upon publication in 1748 and was promptly prosecuted banned and burned by the French court of justice. After its publication Toussaint was forced to free to Bruxelles and thence to Prussia where Frederick the Great offered his protection. The book had at least ten printings in the first year 1748 and thirty-eight by 1800. Along with Montesquieu's De l'esprit des loix 1748 and the Encyclopédie prospectus 1750 Toussaint's Les Mœurs was influential in crystallising the enlightenment ideas which would go on to influence the French Revolution. "Cet ouvrage dit Laharpe est le premier où l on se soit proposé un plan de morale naturelle indépendant de toute croyance religieuse et de tout culte extérieur. La nouveauté des idées dut contribuer à la vogue de ce livre" Drujon. Due to the book being banned upon its publication and reprinted numerous times in 1748 there appears to be little consensus regarding which is a true first edition. A copy at Alde appeared in 2020 and was described as "une des premières éditions si ce n'est la première" and another copy printed on large paper with an identical title-page and frontispiece to ours appeared at Christies in 2022 and was described as an "édition originale". 1748. unknown
