1767-Feb.-19: The personal effects and library of the late Sr. Baisset were scheduled for public sale at the residence of the King’s Printer in Cap-Français. The auction included a diverse collection of books covering jurisprudence, medicine, surgery, history, and belles-lettres. Sr. Marie, the testamentary executor, organized the event to settle the deceased’s estate and financial obligations. This notice provides evidence of the sophisticated intellectual interests and literary culture present within the urban centers of eighteenth-century Saint-Domingue.
