Jean-Marie COLLOT D'HERBOIS (1749-1796) conventionnel... - Lot 339 - Rossini
Jean-Marie COLLOT D'HERBOIS (1749-1796) conventionnel (Paris), member of the Comité de Salut public, one of the most fiery Jacobins. P.S. with autograph corrections, co-signed by Joseph FOUCHÉ "de Nantes", City franked 28 brumaire II (18 November 1793); 2 1/2 pages in-fol, vignette and header Les Représentans du Peuple envoyés près l'Armée des Alpes, et dans différens Départemens de la République. Important document on the reorganization of Lyon. In order to "bring out in this Commune the debris of the public thing from the abyss where they were swallowed up by the counter-revolutionaries", the temporary Commission of Republican Surveillance must act as a spring which, by pressing the constituted authorities, gives them more strength and energy. Collot d'Herbois and Fouché decide on various measures to make more effective and fast the work of the constituted authorities, which will have to take care of the great public interests, "the supplies and the subsistence, the maintenance and the play of the mills, the threshing of the grains, the conservation and the maintenance of the sequestration, the maintenance of the public road in the cities and on the main roads, the prompt punishment of the traitors, and the research of those who believe to escape the National justice, the demolitions of all the proscribed buildings, the classification and the activity of the workers, the regeneration of the Public Spirit too long infected with Royalism, federalism & revolt, the repression of prostitution, immorality, superstition still scandalously displayed in the daytime, which is at the same time a guilty infringement of the decrees relating to the Republican area and a gross insult to reason & good sense, the inspection of the idlers always suspect, the severe police force of the public places, the execution of the Decrees & the orders of the representatives of the people, the contribution & the conservation of all that was put in requisition for our brothers of the Armies & for the common enjoyment &ca "... Numerous corrections of the hand of Collot d' Herbois add to the interest of this important document, as well as the rare form of signature "Fouché of Nantes".
