Boudn with: Victor HUGO. VIRMAITRE, Claude. Autograph letter addressed to Victor Hugo.4 September 1846. 8vo. Text on two pages mm. 200x132. Clear cursive handwriting, brown ink. Very good condition. 'Ce qui pourroit etre tout a fait determinant serait un mot d'un ministre quelconque, et surtout de M. Dumon le Suzerain de le Chemin de fer.' Claude Virmaître, 1806?-1854, editor at the newspaper Le Corsaire and collaborator of Victor Hugo, asked the writer, then a Member of Parliament, for an intervention in order to obtain a post with the railways. He quotes Pierre Sylvain Dumon in this regard. 'the Sovereign of the Railways', Minister of Public Works from December 1843 to May 1847: having invested a large part of his personal fortune in the railway companies, in particular the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranean, he firmly opposed, as minister, the exploitation of the railways by the state; hostile to their nationalisation, he thus favored the monopoly of large companies.
