Jacques-Pierre BRISSOT DE WARVILLE (1754-guillotiné... - Lot 125 - Rossini
Jacques-Pierre BRISSOT DE WARVILLE (1754-guillotiné 1793) conventionnel (Eure-et-Loir), Girondin. L.A.S. "Brissot de Warwille," February 17 [1791], to Camille Desmoulins; 1 page in-8 (portrait attached). Beautiful letter on his defense of the Negroes, in which he addresses to Desmoulins, then editor of the journal Révolutions de France, two memoirs: "I hope especially that his energetic pen will defend the cause of the unfortunate Negroes that an infernal cabal is now pursuing. The friend of Liberty must not have two measures. One must be fair if one is to be free. The Society of the Friends of the Negroes relies infinitely on the zeal that M. Desmoulins has deployed for Liberty"...
