EXTRAIT DES REGISTRES DES DÉLIBÉRATIONS DE L'ASSEMBLÉE PROVINCIALE DU NORD DE S. DOMINGUE. SÉANCE DU DIX-SEPT JUIN MIL SEPT CENT QUATRE-VINGT DIX [caption ... An apparently unrecorded broadside, printing a proclamation by the northern provincial assembly of Saint Domingue, signed in print by Trémondrie as President and Levesque as Secretary, dated June 17, 1790. It follows a similar proclamation dated the day before, both printed after a disastrous meeting of two delegations, one from the unofficial assembly of Saint-Marc and one from the official northern assembly, to discuss their respective principles. This broadside denounces the ideals put forth by the Saint-Marc delegation, the oath printed and distributed by the deputies of their assembly, and their pretension to the assumption of power in the north of the island. A very rare Saint Domingue broadside of an unusually large size: OCLC locates no copies.
