Philippe-François-Nazaire FABRE D'ÉGLANTINE (1750-1794) acto - Lot 154
Philippe-François-Nazaire FABRE D'ÉGLANTINE (1750-1794) actor, poet and playwright, deputy of Paris to the Convention, he prepared the revolutionary calendar; guillotined with the Dantonists. L.A. (minute), [1791]; 1 1/2 pages folio, numerous erasures and corrections. Clarification against slander. Upset and tired of being attacked by pamphlets and newspapers, he defends himself from being "the author of a newspaper entitled Les Révolutions de Paris. Without interfering to praise or impugn this newspaper, I say that it is not true that I am the author of this newspaper: I do not write this one, nor others; I do not write a line on public affairs. [...] I have never set foot in the Club des Cordeliers - I am said to be one of the authors or at least one of the signatories of the Petition du Champ de Mars [...]. Since the death of Mirabeau I have been careful not to go to the Jacobins, except once, on the day of the King's departure, to see what was called the meeting I am not furious, but curious, I am not an apostle, but I have my way of observing and seeing. I have only been to the Jacobins more regularly since the split [...] I was, it is said, one of the great motionaries at the Champ de Mars on Sunday, the 17th - although curious, I have never in my life been to the Champ de Mars; on the day of the Federation of 1790, the only day I had the desire to go, I found myself suffering from a redoubling of fever. [...] As for my opinions which one still takes the trouble to discuss, it is in my works that one must study them, it is there that I am all in all"... He quotes to finish 12 verses: "In corruption, Luxury has taken root"...
