Description

[Consulate] Attack of the infernal machine Trial conducted by the criminal court of the Seine department, against Saint-Réjant, Carbon, and others, accused of conspiracy against the First Consul: followed by the judgment of the court of cassation, which rejected the convicts' appeal. Collected by stenographers. Paris, Imprimerie de la République, Floréal an IX [1801]. 2 volumes. 12.5 by 20.5 cm. LVI-398; and (4)-348 pages. Modern fawn half-basane, spine with 4 nerves. Very slight sunning of spines. Good condition inside. First edition. Lemière, p. 493; Bibliothèque La Sicotière, 8037. This meticulous account of the trial that followed the assassination attempt is the most precise and complete document published on this famous affair. "Attack committed by royalist conspirators against the First Consul, on 3 nivôse an IX (December 24, 1800), as Bonaparte's carriage was passing through the rue Saint-Nicaise, on its way from the Tuileries to the Opéra. The "infernal machine", which consisted of a barrel filled with gunpowder, bullets and projectiles, fitted with a trigger spring, killed eight people and injured many others, but Bonaparte was unharmed. The First Consul, who persisted in his plan to rally the royalists, pretended to believe that it was an attack mounted by the Jacobins, and had one hundred and thirty republicans deported." (Mourre, Dictionnaire encyclopédique d'histoire, p. 2769).
