Author Description

Réfutation de la lettre du général français Dauxion Lavaysse is a historical pamphlet penned by Chevalier de Prézeau, secretary to His Majesty Henry I. Published in 1814, this work serves as a direct response and rebuttal to a letter from French General Dauxion Lavaysse. The text provides insight into the political climate and tensions of the early 19th century, likely concerning French interests and influence in the Caribbean, specifically Haiti, during the reign of Henry I. This document offers valuable primary source material for researchers interested in the history of Haiti, French colonial ambitions, and political discourse following the Haitian Revolution. The title, translating to "Refutation of the Letter of the French General Dauxion Lavaysse," clearly indicates the pamphlet's purpose as a political and historical counter-argument.
