souple. Condition: 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.…

One of the four editions from 1782 of an extract from the diary of an anonymous officer serving in the squadron of Charles Hector count d'Estaing (1729-1794), whose aim was to give assistance to the American uprising against the British. In 1778 he distained the Command of a fleet intended to aid the United States against Britain. The slowness of his actions and the extreme care of his manoeuvres, however, granted the enemy many chances to counterattack. This work was meant to discredit the actions of the count, especially those in the city of Savannah, Georgia. It contains numerous references to Martinique, Guadeloupe and the Antilles.According to Howes the author was probably Captain Walsh, the Chevalier O'Connor. Three other editions appeared in 1782 with 94, 112 and 159 pages respectively.Slightly browned, some minor occasional foxing and tattered spine. Otherwise in good condition.l Howes E-198; Sabin 23033 ("of great rarity"); cf. Polak 3721. Contemporary grey wrappers. With an engraved frontispiece portrait of Charles Henry Comte d'Estaing, a woodcut device on the title page, and a woodcut headpiece. Pages: 126 pp.…

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.
