GRÉGOIRE. Rapport sur la nécessité & les moyens d'anéant - Lot 113
GRÉGOIRE. Rapport sur la nécessité & les moyens d'anéantir le patois, et d'universaliser l'usage de la langue française. Paris, Imprimerie nationale, 1794. 19-page, in-8 booklet, paperback.
First edition of this report in which Grégoire advocates the single, invariable use of "the language of liberty": It is the unity of idiom that will organize the Nation. National identity will therefore be built on a revolutionary language.
Number 58 of the Gazette nationale, or Moniteur universel, reproducing Grégoire's text, is enclosed.
