Beard, Life of Touissant Louverture, 1853 (repr. 2002)
The life of Toussaint Louverture, the negro patriot of Hayti; Comprising an account of the struggle for liberty in the island, and a sketch of its
history to the present period, by John R. Beard, Member of the Historico-Theological Society of Leipzig, xiii+map+335p, London, Ingram, Cooke & Co.,
1853; Repr. By Seattle, Inkling Books, 2002. (A detailed TOC starts on p. vii. Lacks index. All in English. The frontispiece is a portrait of Toussaint
Louverture being captured through stratagem by officers of Leclerc, Napoleon’s commander in Saint-Domingue. Given the young age of the person
portrayed, this portrait is probably idealized. There are numerous additional engravings {see list on p. xii}, some more believable than others, throughout
the book. This is a quite sympathetic account of both Toussaint’s life and the Haitian Revolution, intended by the author to counter the many
unsympathetic accounts published by the displaced former planters. Bear intended his work to be a rebuttal to negative accounts of Toussaint-Louverture by such
authors as Saint-Remy: LLMC Title No. 31426. See p. vi.)
