This is a collection compiled by publisher Giguet containing letters and memoirs concerning the deportation to the penal colonies of French Guiana of numerous persons occupying the highest ranks of the Republic at the time of the French Revolution.
The assembled pieces refer to the coup d'état of 18 Fructidor fomented under the Directory by the republicans against the moderates and royalists, then holding a majority in the councils, particularly the legislative ones.
