GRÉGOIRE. Motion in favor of the Jews. Preceded by a historical note on the persecutions they have just suffered in various places, notably in Alsace, and on the admission of their deputies to the Bar of the National Assembly. Paris, Belin, 1789. 47-page in-8 booklet, yellow edges, rebound.
Very rare first edition of one of the author's many important contributions to the cause of Human Rights: The dispersal of the Jews, wandering, unhappy, proscribed throughout the universe for eighteen centuries, is a unique event in history. I have always believed that they were men; a trivial truth, but one that has not yet been demonstrated to those who treat them as beasts of burden and speak of them only in tones of contempt or hatred.
