A very scarce publication by Prince Achille Murat (1801-1847), son of Joachim Murat, Napoleon's brother-in-law. He moved to the United States and became a cotton planter in Florida; as such, this work of his reveals his pro-slavery sentiments. This English version edited and translated by Henry J. Bradfield.
