Refutation of a Text by the Former Colonists Refugeed in Jamaica, Entitled: Account of the Present State of Affairs in the Colony of Saint-Domingue

The author is introduced as lieutenant colonel, chevalier and treasurer of the royal and military Order of Saint Henry, treasurer general of the King's household and secretary to the King. He says a new text directed at Haitians by the former colonists reached him through friends abroad, and he calls the former colonists Haiti's most irreconcilable enemies.

He places the text among the plans and memoirs of earlier colonist authors and says its authors have learned nothing from events. He then answers it point by point, and in his closing pages he addresses the authors directly. The pamphlet was printed at Cap-Henry by P. Roux, printer to the King, in the twelfth year of independence.
