Philippe BUONARROTI (1761-1837) revolutionary,... - Lot 645 - Rossini
Philippe BUONARROTI (1761-1837) revolutionary, friend and supporter of Gracchus Babeuf, who continued his political activity in secret societies. L.A.S. "B", Brussels January 3, 1830, to Charles TESTE in Paris; 1 page in-4, reinforced at the fold, address on the reverse (a little soiled, one corner torn by breaking of the seal). Rare and interesting letter of the revolutionary. He asks Teste to give a notebook intended "for the friend of Touraine". He then extends on the memoirs of LEVASSEUR, rehabilitating "this Mountain of which a part deserves the regrets and the veneration of the human kind. [...] the Mountain is justified in terms of national independence and foreign war, but the great internal political goal which alone can justify such a violent impulse is not deepened [...As long as the young people will not get rid of the political and economic doctrines of which the sicophants have been corroding their ears for thirty six years, as long as they will not recognize the falseness of the constitutional maxims which one preaches to them since the restoration, they will be able neither to understand the Wise Men of 1793 nor to write with truth and with fruit the history of this time "... The printed decree of the Convention naturalizing Buonarroti for services rendered to the Republic, in particular in Corsica, May 27, 1793, is enclosed. Former collection Jean Ellenstein (29-30 May 1980, n° 671).
