Jules MICHELET (1798-1874) writer and historian. L.A.S., Jul - Lot 659
Jules MICHELET (1798-1874) writer and historian. L.A.S., July 6, 1849; 1 page in-8. Beautiful letter on his Histoire de la Révolution Française. ... "One does not guess history. So, if you are young indeed, you will have lacked the time to make such special studies. Without such studies, it is difficult to appreciate whether a judgment is absolute, whole, or relative and nuanced. In this crowd of improvisers who amuse themselves with portraits, I am the only historian, to my knowledge, who has tried to give successive and relative judgments. Man is an undulating subject... I give in my history several very different moments of Mirabeau, several successive portraits (all true) of Marie-Antoinette, twenty and more of Robespierre"...
