GRÉGOIRE (the abbot). Third Report on Vandalism, session of the 24th Frimaire, Year III of the Republic... Printed by order of the National Convention, and sent by its order to the constituted authorities. Paris, National Printing Office for Laws, Frimaire, Year III [1795].

Abbé Grégoire, credited with coining the term “vandalism,” denounces the acts of destruction caused by conspirators who still wield their axes against monuments or by those negligent authorities who allow France’s cultural heritage to fall into disrepair... Terribly relevant today! Brochure excerpted from a collection (original handwritten pagination). Slight foxing.
