Louis BLANC (1811-1882) historian and politician. L.A.S., Pa - Lot 663
Louis BLANC (1811-1882) historian and politician. L.A.S., Paris September 1, 1875, to Alfred Naquet; 4 pages in-8. Beautiful political letter [Naquet, deputy of Vaucluse to the left of the Republican Party, launched his campaign for the elections of 1876]. Blanc warns him: "I don't think it would be a good policy on my part to engage in the struggle, as you say. It would be better to wait for the other side to do so. The systematic silence kept by the constitutional Press on the demonstrations of which you took the initiative in the South is very characteristic. One wants to give oneself the advantage of having done everything to avoid the glare of the divisions", to reject the fault on the Intransigeants, whom one would then designate as the culprits of the electoral defeat of the republican party if it were beaten, accusing them of having sown the discord and spoiled all... "And in this way, the detestable constitution of February 25 would escape the stop which it deserves"... He regrets that Naquet was so much "in a hurry to begin a campaign whose consequences can be so serious. It was necessary to wait, according to me, that one forced us to speak what would have put all the faults on the side of our adversaries "...One joint L.A.S. to Engel, March 11, 1864.
