MALO (Charles). Histoire de Saint-Domingue, depuis sa découverte jusqu'à ce jour ; suivi de pièces justificatives. Paris, Louis Janet, Delaunay, 1819. In-8, paperback, smooth edges, contemporary cover. Sabin, n°44140. Second edition of this complete history of the island of Saint-Domingue. It was published the same year as the original, printed in 700 copies and quickly sold out (cf. Avis du libraire-éditeur). The supporting notes contain, among other things, the transcription of a letter addressed by Toussaint-Louverture to Bonaparte, in which the black general denounces the carnage and devastation that were spread on his island by the forces intended to enforce French sovereignty (pp. 349-352).
