Annuaire de législation haïtienne: the laws, decrees and arrêtés of 1911

The eighth year of the Annuaire, covering 1911.

The volume is unusual in the series because it records a change of regime as it happened. It prints the acts issued at Cap-Haïtien by Cincinnatus Leconte styling himself Chef Suprême de la Révolution, including the arrêté maintaining the committees of other localities and the proclamation dated from the revolution begun in the Quartier de Ferrier on 7 May. The proclamation's grievances are economic as much as political: burnt houses, devastated properties, sacked habitations and livestock carried off are given as what put arms in the hands of the revolutionary army, alongside the charge of tyranny against General Antoine Simon.

A compilation that carries the instruments of a successful insurrection beside the ordinary laws of the year is the clearest illustration of what this series is for. Haitian legal continuity in this period runs through changes of government that each issue their acts, and the Annuaire prints the acts of the outgoing administration and the incoming one together. The volume also carries the agriculture material of the year.
