Le pays de nègres; Voyage a Haiti, ancienne parties francais de Saint-Domingue, officier d’académie; Ouvrage orné d’une carte et de 24 gravures: by Edgar La Selvé, vii+(1)+map+376p, Paris, Lib. Hachette et C., 1881.(Lacks index, but a TOC starts on p. 373. Readers would be well advised to consult it. This work is a mishmash of travel-ogue, interviews with contemporary Haitian, officials and commonfolk, and long regurgita-tions of historical narrative from unacknowledged sources, unencumbered by a sense of chronology. The author’s general bias as to the place of Europeans in the march of history, with their gospel of “enterprise joined to humanitarianism,” is evidenced by the fact that the dedication is to Leopold II of Belgium, in recognition of his humanitarian work in the civilizing of Africa. LLMC’s copy lacks pp. 95-96. Assistance in filling this gap would be greatly appreciated.))
