CHASSÉRIAU, Frédéric-Victor-Charles (1807–1881), naval historian and ardent advocate for the abolition of slavery. Signed autograph letter addressed to Dalloz. [1869]. 2 pp. in-8. A moving letter expressing resignation upon learning of the death of his brother, the painter Théodore Chassériau. Chassériau writes to Paul Dalloz following the death of his correspondent’s father, Victor Alexis Désiré Dalloz (1795–1869), a legal scholar and founder of the “Dalloz.” “[…] You have lost your venerable father; but he leaves behind a family & a [?] worthy of bearing his name; that is a great consolation! I ask more of you—I, who have so often and so cruelly been tested by death—from you, who showed such sympathy upon the death of my beloved brother: resignation. Yes, bow your head, and you will find the strength to resign yourself! […].”
