The sole edition of an impassioned denunciation of the conduct and character of General Charles Francois Du Perier Dumourier (1739-1823). The pamphlet recounts Dumourier's actions during the French Revolution and resulting war - in particular his decisive victory against the Austrians at Jemappes. The author, a French officer who served with Dumourier, is quick to condemn the general's subsequent defection from, and attempted overthrow of, the revolutionary government that caused him to flee his native country and wander Europe pursued by royalist intrigue.

The work provides a stark contrast to Lady Eglantine Wallace's (d.1803) concurrently published defence of Dumourier (London, 1793); indeed, The Analytical Review (Vol. XVI, 1793, p.487) commented: 'This pamphlet forms a very striking contrast to that published by lady Wallace; and it is indeed impossible to read either of them, without remarking how much the author of one is biassed by partiality, and the other by prejudice'.
