GRÉGOIRE. Discours sur la liberté des cultes. New edition augmented by the decree issued on 3 ventôse. Paris, Maradan, An III de la Liberté. Booklet in-8, 40 pages, bradel modern marbled paper boards.
Enlarged edition, published the same year as the original, of this appeal for tolerance. Catholics and especially a host of priests are the special object of the fury of extremist atheists (...) The government must not adopt, let alone pay, any religion, even though it recognizes the right of each individual to his or her own. The decree adopted was largely inspired by Grégoire's ideas: it ensured that the exercise of any religion could not be disturbed.
