BRITAIN. REVOLUTION. NANTES (44). RENNES (35) Certificate signed by the Commissioners appointed by the Youth of NANTES, when they marched to the aid of their Brothers of RENNES, in January 1789 (Old style), to avenge the Assassinations committed by the ci-devant Nobles of Brittany, against the Young Plebeians of RENNES. Let us certify that Jacques Louis DUFEU was among those who dedicated themselves to supporting the just claims of the Communes, against the pride and despotism of the two then privileged Orders, that in the journey to RENNES, which was the signal for the insurrection - the first impulse of French youth towards the Revolution - he behaved as a brave comrade in the Friends of Liberty and Equality; and that since that time he has constantly demonstrated the same principles and the same devotion, in NANTES on 30 fructidor An 2 (16 September 1794)." 1 page (38.5 x 25 cm).
