Jean-Baptiste LOUVET DE COUVRAY (1760-1797)... - Lot 81 - Rossini
Jean-Baptiste LOUVET DE COUVRAY (1760-1797) Conventional (Loiret) and novelist (Faublas). L.A.S., Paris January 12, 1790, to Camille DESMOULINS, "author of the Revolutions of France and Brabant"; 1 page in-4, address. Sending to Camille Desmoulins of his pamphletParis justifié, contre M. Mounier. He sends him his work, which had appeared a fortnight earlier. "Without doubt, after the way you fought against Mr. MOUNIER, it was no longer necessary to undertake to refute him; it seemed to me, however, that it would not be a completely useless thing. The enemies of the Revolution are so numerous! Why not show them that it has many friends? When a legion of writers or writers attack it, how could there be a single literary scholar, a good citizen, who thought himself exempt from defending it? One has rightly distinguished you, Sir, in the small number of people of letters whose really recommendable talents have served most usefully the cause of the French people and of the human race"...
