François Guillaume GERVAIS (OF CAEN) Influential member of t - Lot 352
François Guillaume GERVAIS (OF CAEN) Influential member of the Republican Party, Condemned, Prefect of Police in 1848, Administrator: Letter A.S. of the political Prison of PÉLAGIE of June 16, 1834. 2pp in-8°, to Mr. MARCHAND. "You are right, My dear Guillaume, this affair prevented me from dealing with our article and the unexpected result must have changed my views. I do have an article: "The Prisons of Paris since 1830", another one "The Letters of Cachet and the preventive detentions" but to finish them I would have to be free, they require research that I cannot do in prison. I can only think of one way to give you something right away. No one has published the trial except the newspapers, which have done so in a very inaccurate manner. Would you like an article "A Trial in Calumny in 1834." I would do a few pages on the events that led to the April crisis, the crisis itself, the arrests, the trial reviewed on my notes and those of my lawyers. Then some considerations on the political trials. If you agree with me. I want a permission for me in the Chamber of Peers and come that we talk. I am quite ready to put me to work... ". + 3 Letters in-8° are joined: 1850, 1863, 1866, addressed to Mrs. or Mr. GUILAUMIN (2 are with the heading of the Director of the Higher School of Trade, 24 street of Popincourt.) A360
