With the help of Monsieur, the king's brother, who provided the initial funding, ten personalities founded Le Conservateur: Bruges, Talaru, Polignac, Vitrolles, Mathieu de Montmorency, Fiévée, Villèle, Castelbajac, Trouvé and Lamennais. If Chateaubriand was not one of the founders, contrary to legend, he was the true intellectual leader of the Conservateur and his name will remain permanently linked to its publication." Rare collection in this condition.
