[BONAPARTE (Louis Napoléon)]. Cour des Pairs. Attack of August 6, 1840. Réquisitoires et répliques de M. Franck Carré, procureur général du Roi. Paris, Imprimerie Royale, 1840. In-4, 44 pp. Bradel, dark blue half-percaline, title page in red marble (late 19th c. binding). Requisitions and reply by the procureur général in the Cour des Pairs trial of the failed coup attempt at Boulogne-sur-mer. "On the night of August 5 to 6, 1840, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte landed with some fifty conspirators near Boulogne-sur-Mer. Taking the town, the sub-prefecture and the town hall would require too many troops. The conspirators decided to go to the barracks of the 40th infantry regiment to ask for reinforcements. The attempt failed. Forced to flee, Louis-Napoléon and a few accomplices boarded a canoe to reach their boat. Gunfire broke out, the Prince was wounded, the canoe capsized and the fugitives were rescued. [...] He is sentenced to life imprisonment in the fortress of Ham [...]. He escaped after six years' imprisonment. He returned to London until the revolution of 1848, when he became the first President of the French Republic, on December 10, 1848. The Boulogne-sur-Mer conspiracy followed a first attempt in Strasbourg on October 30, 1836. Louis-Napoléon hoped to raise the garrison and march on Paris to overthrow the July monarchy. It was an immediate failure, and the prince and his accomplices were arrested. At the request of Louis-Napoléon's mother, Queen Hortense, King Louis-Philippe convinced the government to let the prince leave for the United States, where he landed on March 30, 1837. Meanwhile, his accomplices were tried before the Strasbourg Assize Court, and acquitted by the jury on January 18, 1837, to public acclaim. Although this attempt was a failure, it did enable him to make a name for himself in France, and to be associated with his uncle in Bonapartist imagery." Senate.
