LOUIS XVI'S APPEAL TO THE NATION. Marc Ferdinand GROUBER DE GROUBENTALL (1739-1815), lawyer and man of letters, was commissioned by Louis XVI's lawyers to prepare a text by Louis XVI for a possible appeal procedure. The text, Appel de Louis XVI à la Nation, was initially attributed to him, but since Jacques Isorni's investigation, most historians now consider it to be the work of Louis XVI. It was printed during the trial by the printer J.-J. Rainville, rue de Seine, but once the outcome of the trial was known and the possibility of appealing to the people rejected, Grouber, fearing for his own life, had the entire print run destroyed, with the exception of a single copy later given to Louis XVIII. Very interesting file: - Bill dated March 27, 1793. "Je vous préviens que je viens de trouver chez Rainville, ce que vous cherchez, l'Appel de Louis 16 à la nation. I have found the forms, the work in press, the proof and the author, Sr Grouber de Goubentall whom I have consigned [...]". - Interrogation signed by Grouber and Rainville, March 27, 1793. 2 pp. ½ in-folio (consolidated edge) - Arrêté du Comité de Sûreté générale ordering the arrest of Grouber de Groubentall and the search of his papers. Signed by MÉAULLE, CAMUS, LAMARQUE, MARIBON-MONTANT. March 28, 1793. - Another interrogation signed by Gouber (March 31, 1793, 2 pp. in-folio) in which he recounts how his wife, knowing of his arrest, threw the manuscript of Louis XVI's Appeal to the Nation into the fire. Attached is a press article on this affair by Jacques Isorni.
