Jacques-René HÉBERT (1755-1794) the violent pamphleteer of F - Lot 359
Jacques-René HÉBERT (1755-1794) the violent pamphleteer of Father Duchêne, substitute for the prosecutor (Chaumette) of the Paris Commune, arrested with his supporters and guillotined. L.A.S., [late 1793], "To the Patriot Palloy on the debris of the dungeons of the Bastille"; 1 1/4 pages in-8, address. Beautiful and rare letter from Father Duchêne thanking Palloy for sending a stone from the Bastille. "I have never received a more flattering gift in my life [...] it will be placed in the middle of my store, the sacred stone of human rights. I will contemplate it every time I have occasion to speak of kings: it will remind me of their crimes, my bile will boil over, judge then of the great anger. To prove my gratitude, Father Duchesne and his Jaqueline will go and eat your soup, but they will have to pay you back. And he signs: "Your fellow citizen Hébert, substitute for the Commune, and the true merchant of foutre furnaces". On the back, he adds: "in exchange for your solid present I will send you my joys and my angers it is not much, but if it is only wine of Suresne, it is natural foutre"...
