Paris : Guillaume et Londres, Berthoud Wethley, 1816. In-8, frontispice avec 5 portraits, VI-280 pages. Basane marbrée de l'époque, dos lisse orné, filet doré sur les coupes. Reliure épidermée. Edition originale du compte rendu du procès des "trois Anglais", jugés pour leurs rôles dans l'évasion du comte de Lavalette. L'auteur, défenseur des trois hommes, est le grand avocat André Dupin. Il livre ici un récit contemporain de leur arrestation, de leurs interrogatoires et du procès sensationnel qui s' en suivit. Haut dignitaire de l'Empire, pour s'être rallié à Napoléon au moment des cent jours, Antoine-Marie Chamans (1769-1830), comte de Lavalette, est arrêté chez lui le 18 juillet 1815, traduit devant une cour d'assise pour conspiration et est condamné à mort le 20 novembre. La veille même de monter à la guillotine, le 20 décembre, le comte s'évade de la Conciergerie, suivant un plan audacieux préparé et exécuté par son épouse, Emilie de Beauharnais, nièce de Joséphine. En janvier 1816, le comte quitte la France avec la complicité de « trois Anglais » (en réalité un Anglais, un Irlandais et un Ecossais). Michael Bruce (1787-1861) est un aventurier d'origine écossaise, qui fut surnommé "Lavelette Bruce" après l'évasion du comte. John Hely-Hutchinson (1787-1851), plus tard 3e comte de Donoughmore, est un capitaine et homme politique irlandais, et Sir Robert Thomas Wilson (1777-1849), un général et politicien anglais. Arrêtés et jugés en France, les trois hommes furent condamnés à deux ans de prison en avril de la même année. N° de réf. du vendeur 4453

First edition of this contemporary report of the sensational arrest, interrogation and trial of 'trois Anglais' (actually an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman) accused of abetting the escape of the Comte de Lavalette on the eve of his execution by the restored Bourbon regime. Lavalette had been one of Napoleon's inner circle, but had refused exile on the restoration of the monarchy and was sentenced to death. 'On 10 January 1816 Wilson was instrumental, in conjunction with Michael Bruce and Captain John Hely-Hutchinson (later third earl of Donoughmore), in the escape from Paris of Count Lavallette, who, condemned to death, had escaped from prison by putting on his wife's clothes. Wilson passed the barriers in a cabriolet with Lavallette disguised as a British officer and conveyed him safely to Mons. He sent a narrative of the adventure to Earl Grey (reprinted in the Gentlemans Magazine in 1816), which was intercepted. He was arrested in Paris on 13 January. The three Englishmen were tried in Paris on 2 April and sentenced on the 24th to three months' imprisonment' (R. H. Vetch in Oxford DNB). 8vo (200 × 110 mm), pp. 236, plus engraved frontispiece with 5 portraits. Slight worming to gutter towards head throughout, not affecting any text. Early quarter calf, brown morocco spine label, lettered in gilt. Spine slightly abraded. A good copy. N° de réf. du vendeur 3219
