Paul ADAM (1862-1920). Autograph manuscript signed, La Fin de l'Aventure, [1901]; 8 pages in-fol. with erasures and corrections. On the European intervention against the Boxer revolt, and the confused situation at the end of the operation which is characterized by a waltz-hesitation of the intervening powers after the repression of the movement, especially concerning the repatriation of the expeditionary corps. "Tired of having uselessly demanded barbaric vengeance, Europe, along with the United States and Japan, was preparing to recall international troops from China. At least the diplomats announced it. The names of the ships destined for the repatriation are even mentioned. But, in fact, no power is actively undertaking the return operations"... Etc.
