Notes: Mémoire sur l'Isle de Ste. Lucie. ...Prepared for the Comte de Maurepas, this discussion of rights to St. Lucia traces the history of French possession dating from 1635. In 1649 the Governor of Martinique bought the island from the Compagnie Française de l'Amérique. In 1718 the Regent ceded the island to the Maréchal d'Estrées. England has been evading a definite settlement of ownership: were they to gain possession of St. Lucia they might invade other French islands and gain a commercial advantage. It is thus important "d'en assurer une fois pour toutes la propriété à la France et d'écarter pour toujours la prétention des Anglais."
