ABSTRACT
Shortly after these transactions, a Court Calendar was published, by order of the King, denominated the Royal Almanack of Hayti; and containing, among other things of greater or less interest, the names and titles of those, by whose means the monarchy had been principally established. 1 These were men, some of whom it will be remembered, had passed the early part of their lives in slavery; and others of them, though never subjected to that state of degradation, had been long regarded as an inferior race: for this reason, it may be amusing, at least, to know by what titles they were now distinguished, and what offices they were destined to fill in the newly-formed government.
