[COUSIN D'AVALLON Charles Yves].MareMagnum

Histoire de Toussaint-Louverture, chef des noirs insurgés de Saint-Domingue; précédée d'un coup d'oeil politique sur cette colonie, et suivie d'anecdotes et faits particuliers concernant ce chef des noirs, et les agens directoriaux envoiyés dans cette partie du Nouveau-Monde, pendant le cours de la révolution.

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.

INGINAC (Joseph-Balthazar).Livre Rare Book

Lettre signée d’1 p. in-4 datée de Port-au-Prince le 19 janvier 1825.

réf. 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.”
