souple. Condizione: Assez bon. 1 vol. in12 reliure postérieur (début XIXe) demi-veau brun, A Otiopolis [Paris ], Chez Daniel Songe-Creux, 1755, 166 pp. L'ouvrage est attribué à Charles Hector d'Estaing (1729-1794), qui commanda une escadre envoyée à l'aide des "insurgents" américains lors de la guerre d'indépendance. Précédé d'une "Epître Dédicatoire au Désoeuvrement", ce poème de six chants imprimé à "Otiopolis" (la "cité des loisirs") se situe dans la veine des discours du temps consacrés à la Félicité publique et au Bonheur des citoyens. On y retrouve diverses résonances maçonniques (l'auteur, alors âgé de 26 ans, sera membre de la "Société Olympique"). Mais on notera surtout que dans son cinquième chapitre, l'auteur "est témoin du supplice de Charles Premier, Roi d'Angleterre" et évoque la "Consolation de Charles en mourant par la main d'un Bourreau" ; on ne peut lire sans quelque émotion les lignes qui suivent si l'on songe que Charles Hector Comte d'Estaing mourra la tête tranchée par la guillotine le 28 avril 1794 ! : "Adorant du Très-haut la sagesse infinie, Se repaissoit des biens promis dans l'autre vie : Sans crainte et sans retard bravant le coup fatal, Sa main avec plaisir en donna le signal. On n'obéit que trop ; et le fer homicide. Je ne regardai point cet affreux parricide ; Mais ne pu me cacher dans mon étonnement Qu'on Goûtoit du plaisir même au dernier moment". Une mention au crayon en premier garde volante précise : "relié par Petit, succr de Simier". Etat très satisfaisant (coiffes arasées, petites mq. aux mors en coiffes, très bon état intérieur). Barbier, III, 907 Langue: Français.…

Authorship of this work is uncertain, but Howes theorizes that one Captain Walsh is the author. Whoever wrote it served as an officer in the Comte d'Estaing's squadron and is highly critical of his conduct. This work describes the operations of the French fleet in 177879, beginning with the departure from Toulon and covering the blockade of the British at New York; the planned but aborted naval battle off Newport; the encounter with the British fleet under Admiral John Byron; and finally, the attack on Savannah, Georgia. The frontispiece is a portrait of d'Estaing, under which is a view of the taking of Grenada. This is one of the best sources for the Savannah attack. An important Revolutionary naval item, here present in the first edition, first issue of the text. CLARK I:234. HOWES E198. SABIN 23033. DE RENNE I:224.

1 pièce signée 1/2 In-4 11 juin 1779 un coin coupé affectant la fin d'un mot En 1779, la France est engagée depuis deux ans dans la guerre d'Indépendance américaine aux côtés des insurgés américains. La lutte contre la Grande-Bretagne se déroule également dans les Antilles, où les possessions françaises et britanniques constituent des enjeux stratégiques majeurs.À la fin de l'année 1778, les Britanniques se sont emparés de Sainte-Lucie, malgré les efforts de l'escadre française commandée par le comte d'Estaing pour empêcher la prise de l'île. Sainte-Lucie devient dès lors une position stratégique britannique, permettant à la Royal Navy de surveiller étroitement la Martinique, principale base française dans les Antilles. Au printemps 1779, l'équilibre des forces évolue cependant en faveur de la France. L'escadre d'Estaing reçoit des renforts importants et, au début du mois de juin, l'amiral britannique John Byron quitte momentanément Sainte-Lucie avec une partie de ses forces. Cette situation offre aux Français l'occasion de reprendre l'initiative dans les îles du Vent. Quelques jours seulement après la date du présent document, les troupes françaises s'empareront de Saint-Vincent, avant de porter leurs efforts sur la Grenade, conquise en juillet et théâtre d'une importante victoire navale française le 6 juillet 1779 (avec le concours du chevalier de Borda). C'est dans ce contexte de guerre maritime et coloniale que s'inscrit le présent document. Daté du 11 juin 1779, à bord du Languedoc, navire amiral de l'escadre française commandée par le comte d'Estaing, qui est encore stationné en Martinique, il donne ordre au chevalier de Borda [Jean-Charles de Borda (1733-1799), scientifique et officier] de rémunérer des déserteurs britanniques. "Il est ordonné à M. le Chevalier de Borda de payer entre les mains de M. Ste Croix La Serre, une somme de Deux cent vingt livres tournois pour être distribuée par forme de gratification à des déserteurs anglais tenus de Ste Lucie. A bord du Languedoc le 11 juin 1779. Estaing" Amiral, il commande la flotte envoyée aux insurgents américains en 1778, échoue par deux fois devant Rhode Island et Savannah et remporte un demi-succès à la Grenade. Il sera guillotiné sous la Terreur.…
