[SAINTE-HÉLÈNE]. MONTCHENU, Claude Marin Henri de (1757-1831). N.A. (s.l.n.d [Sainte-Hélène]) "Observations and grievances which seem to me serious enough to be noted". 1 p. small folio. "The humiliating passport given the assimilation the extreme care to try to prevent all means of rapprochement with the whole house while they were allowed to everyone [...] to speak of B. only as his prisoner, prisoner of war, prisoner of England [....] The sudden proposal to swear allegiance to the King of England, as an inhabitant of St. Helena [...] Insolent answer when I asked if in the papers seized at Las Cases, there was any trace that could interest the King. From time to time a few quarter confidences on things that I knew for a century never wanting to name me the persons who in France could be involved in the conspiracies of having sent me a hunting permit with all the exceptions imposed on the last inhabitant of the island and having wanted to make me pay this permit limited from the first of March to the first of May. To have told me and my colleagues that we were in breach of the regulations just like Dr. O.M." Family provenance, to the present owner by inheritance.
