[2], 141, [1] p., engr. frontis. port. ; 16.2 cm. (12º)
Originally published in Paris in 1814. Imprint 'De l'Imprimerie de Cox et Baylis' on title-page verso and final page. Jean Victor Marie Moreau served in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic armies until 1800 when he headed a Republican and Royalist conspiracy against Napoleon and was exiled. He lived in the United States in New Jersey, from 1805--13, when he entered the Russian service and died of injuries sustained at the Battle of Dresden in August, 1813. The Paris editions include the petition of 26 April 1814 to the Senate by Senator Lanjunais to secure the rehabilitation of General Moreau; two of the three American editions of 1814 include the funeral oration delivered at St Petersburg. The frontispiece portrait (first published in 1813) is engraved by Loac Cardini after the original by ' Svinine'. Pavel Petrovich Svin'in was a Russian diplomat who was secretary to the Russian Consul-General in Philadelphia, 1811--1813.
