Jean-Baptiste ROBIE (1821-1910)

Estim. 80 - 120 EUR

[ROUSSEAU, Jean-Baptiste] - CAMBIAGUE, ([Isaac de, 1650 -1729]. Lawyer at the Paris Parliament in 1670, elected to the Deux-Cents in 1677. L. a. s. to Monsieur Rousseau [Jean-Baptiste](Chez Son Excellence le comte de Luc ambassadeur de France à la Cour Impériale), de Genève le 24 Xbre 1716, 3 p. in-folio, address on back. It was at this time that Jean-Baptiste Rousseau was forced into exile in Switzerland, and from there the Comte de Luc took him with him to the Congress of Baden. The letter mentions Rousseau's defense of booksellers, a publication mentioned by Mr. Brossette, "the last Dutch edition of the works of our worthy and famous Mr. Despréaux..." and the printing of certain pieces. 4 copies are sent, including a tribute copy, "which they [the booksellers] most humbly beg you not to disdain". The rest of the letter refers to his separation from the Comte de Luc and his rapprochement with Prince Eugène [of Savoy], with whom he would remain for three years. This is followed by a heartfelt eulogy full of strong formulas. Very slight loss of text due to the aggressiveness of the ink, very slight foxing, otherwise a well-mannered letter. Enclosed: [ROUSSEAU, Jean-Baptiste] - Brumoy, Pierre (1688 - 1742). French man of letters and Jesuit journalist. L. a. s. to Monsieur [Jean-Baptiste Rousseau], Paris January 15, 1736. 4 p. in-8°. This beautiful letter refers to the author of Le ver vert, Jean-Baptiste Gresset. Jean-Baptiste Rousseau sent Pierre Brumoy a "magnificent eulogy...of his first two poems", from which he sent Mr. Gresset an excerpt that was published without the consent of the author or Pierre Brumoy. The rest of the letter deals with literature and style, and mentions "the new epistle on comic theater". Several writers mentioned Du même, L. a. s. à Monsieur Rousseau à Bruxelles, Paris April 25, 1738. 3 p. in-8°, address on back. Long letter congratulating him on the communication of his admirable ode, Ézéchias, which is "a masterpiece that has forced and will force the admiration of enemies even...". Several names are cited in the letter, including P. Tournemine, Jesuit and literary critic, and the analysis of the ode's style is pertinent. From the same: L. a. s. to Monsieur [Jean-Baptiste Rousseau], Paris January 18, 1735, 3 p. ¼ in-8°. Congratulates Rousseau on his excellent epistle. Fathers Rouillé and Tournemine were aware of it. "The work was neither copied nor communicated". This is followed by a pertinent analysis of the epistle's style
