In-4 (249 x 197 mm), demi-veau havane de l'époque à petits coins de vélin, dos lisse orné de doubles filets dorés, (2), viii, 73 p., 12 tableaux hors texte dont 7 dépliants et un plan de plantation plié en fin. Edition originale et unique, rare, de ce document illustré de 12 tableaux hors texte dont 7 dépliants et un plan de plantation plié en fin. L'auteur qui signe "citoyen habitant cultivateur de Saint-Domingue" était une importante personnalité de l'île, régisseur de plusieurs grosses plantations dont celle marquis de Paroy. Ce document reprend et commente un mémoire qu'il avait adressé au ministère de la Marine et des Colonies en l'an VII (1799) pour convaincre les autorités françaises de l'intérêt de conserver et d'étendre le domaine colonial. La première partie "contient les bases d'un plan d'administration des plantations": cultures, gestion des terres et du personnel, organisation des résidences des cultivateurs, choix des cultures. Parmi ses recommandations, Avalle se prononce en faveur d'un "adoucissement de l'état des cultivateurs noirs". Dans la seconde partie, il livre le résultat d'une véritable enquête de terrain qui le conduit à rendre compte du "mouvement d'une sucrerie pendant une année", illustré de statistiques; suivi "d'observations (…) fondées sur le fruit [d'une expérience acquise] pendant plus de vingt années d'administration": nombre de cultivateurs, bâtiments et objets de manufactures, qualification des emplois, temps de travail….. Les Archives nationales et celles du Patrimoine de la Martinique conservent plusieurs documents de / et sur M.-A. Avalle qui témoignent de l'importance de sa position aux Antilles, de son activité, ainsi que de ses relations avec les autorités locales, dont Toussaint l'Ouverture. (Roquincourt, 'Bibliogr. sur la marine et les colonies', n°81. Monglond, IV 459. Sabin, H.2468). WorldCat ne recense que 8 exemplaires dans le monde. L'exemplaire comporte le monogramme "PB" doré à l'époque au dos. Bel exemplaire, très frais, parfaitement conservé.

Pamphlet side sewn lacking any wrappers or binding originally issued. 69 pp. Reprinted from the West Coast Reporter. A critical look at the Civil Code laws of California asserting that the civil code as written is full of errors uncertainties and inconsistencies with almost all sections needing judicial interpretation before their meanings can be understood. Pomeroy felt that the administration of the law was under threat of deterioration because of this. The New York Bar Association printed this critique because the civil code of California was a copy of a draft reported to the New York legislature in 1865. John Norton Pomeroy was an American lawyer and law professor and wrote many important text books and works on American law. Pomeroy helped develop the newly established Hastings College in California's law curriculum and served as their sole law professor. This helped him gain expertise in California law. GOOD condition. Moderate to heavy toning to the front cover with otherwise general toning. Faint dampstaining along the fore edge resulting in some light wrinkling to the text block. No publisher unknown

And while the following account is written with a full appreciation of the seemingly insuramountable difficulties overcome by the War Department in an incredibly short space of time in addition to the necessary hardships of army life and it not intended in any sense as a "lament" there is that to record of interest not only to the regiment itself but to its friends."
