Antoine ROUSSILLON (1752-1793) a surgeon... - Lot 319 - Rossini
Antoine ROUSSILLON (1752-1793) a surgeon of the navy, he became a judge at the Revolutionary Court where he proclaimed himself "judge guillotineur" and where he judged Marie-Antoinette. P.S. "Roussillon juge guillotineur", Paris September 7, 1793; 1 page in-fol. Rare attestation of civism for his colleague and friend MORAS, "excellent republican who in 1789 was persecuted like me in Senegal because of his patriotism; who in 1791 was also dismissed with me and for the same reason from the position of doctor on one of the ships around the world while I was in the dungeons of the Abbey by order of Lafayette for the petition of the Champ de Mars, who in 1792 came to Paris to ask for the deposition of the tyrant, from where he provoked the departure of the people of Brest with whom he participated in the day of August 10. Roussillon knows that "slander and malice are stirring in all directions to denigrate the most ardent republicans," but he hopes that Moras will be given back his duties as a doctor, from which he was suspended on the basis of false and slanderous statements. A printed document is attached: Address of the Society of the Cordeliers, presented to the Convention on July 11, 1793, Roussillon president.
