NÎMES. L.A.S. by National Agent Simon Peschaire, Nîmes 26 ventôse II (March 16, 1794); 2 pages in-4. Protest against the celebration of Sundays by the people of Nîmes. While "the laws have consecrated the decadi as the only day of the repôs, [...] it pains me to see that Sundays are still celebrated as they were under the old regime, [...] the municipality is not doing its duty, [...] the municipal police has a weakness and a carelessness that is reprehensible and would become criminal if it were carried to a higher degree". He reminds us that the law must be applied, which punishes "the prevaricating" and negligent magistrate.... He observes that "fanaticism leads the craftsman to abandon his workshop to follow the bad example set by the muscadins and other enemies of our revolution of dressing up and strutting about as they used to do on the day they called Sunday"...
