1790 · Port-au-Prince
by [Saint Domingue]
Port-au-Prince: de l'Imprimerie de Mozar, 1790. 4pp. Folio, on a folded sheet. Minor soiling. Near fine. A rare imprint from Port-au-Prince, describing the growing dispute between the province of Saint Marc and the other parts of the island. The Parish Assembly of Croix-des- Bouquets decided to reject the address of May 17, 1790 emanating from the Assembly of Saint Marc. This document provides a nine-point argument and a commentary on the national decree of March 8 of the same year, which created the colonial assemblies. Not in the John Carter Brown Library, which has the largest collection of imprints from revolutionary Saint Domingue. (Inventory #: WRCAM46632)
