ROBESPIERRE Maximilien Marie Isidore de [Arras, 1758 - Paris, 1794], French politician. L. A. S. to a "dear friend", living in Béthune. Paris, June 12, 1791; 1 1/4 pages in-4°. EXTRAORDINARY PROFESSION OF FAITH, entirely in his own handwriting. On June 10, 1791, Robespierre was elected public prosecutor of the Paris Criminal Court. On June 12, the date of this letter, primary elections were held to choose the deputies of the future Legislative Assembly. On the night of June 21-22, the King and his family were arrested in Varennes. "Pardon, my dear friend, a thousand pardons. If no one has greater wrongs than I, no one has better excuses. I'm not sending you any notice from the Comité de Constitution. What could I have hoped for from this tripot, this association of men almost all gangrenous? If there is a way to destroy the rights of the people, they will never let it escape. You must always assert yours. They are followed. If the aristocracy wanted to contest them, the primary or electoral assemblies... go in your favor; you would keep them a month for provision, and their decisions would no doubt be irrevocable; as they must be sovereign. As for M. Laurent's affair, M. Laurent fils told my brother that he was leaving for his country; that on his trip, he would settle the matter. That's all I could get out of him today. I don't believe, however, that this gentleman lacks good will. The departments of Paris have just appointed me public prosecutor without my even thinking about it, and in spite of the ministerial cabal and others; the honor of this choice does not disguise for me the heaviness of such a burden. Farewell, my dear friend, I am still overwhelmed; I have only time left to embrace you and to ask you to present the testimony of my fraternal feelings to the friends of the constitution and the good citizens of Béthune".
