Count de LACÉPÈDE (Bernard Germain Étienne de la Ville) Musician, Naturalist, Deputy, Senator, Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, Peer of France (Agen 1756 - 1825). 2 Autograph letters signed of 1801 and 1817 : Letter A.S. of the 3 Germinal An 9 (March 24, 1801) to the Citizen BONNET Administrator of the Theatre of Arts in Paris. 1p in-4°. "Citizen. I have just learned that the Citizen FERAY Artist of the Theatre of Arts that you administer has just been reformed. You are too just and too human, Citizen, not to revoke this resolution. You know how much Citizen FERAY deserves for his talents, his accuracy, his long service, the very rare kind of voice he has, and his knowledge of music and composition, which make him so useful in the difficult pieces of the choruses, where the precision of his performance leads to that of many of those who sing with him: This is for justice. This is for humanity. The citizen FERAY, by losing a place on which he had so much right to count, will find himself without resources, he is a father; he will die of pain... ". + Letter A.S. of March 8, 1817, to Mr. Annibal De MARROT in Guilleberts (Charente). 1p in-4°. "The feelings that you want to grant me touch me as much as they honour me. Mr. your father and mine were linked by a friendship which you were willing to have for me, from your first youth. This attachment is too old and precious to me, for you not to keep it for me.
