Los 246 - Pierre-Jean de BÉRANGER (1780-1857). 2 L.A.S., 1836-1840, to André IMBERDIS in Ambert; 3 and 2 pages in-8, addresses (a few words erased and crack repaired in 1st). Fontainebleau April 17, 1836. Long letter thanking Imberdis for the collection of poems he dedicated to him [Cri de l'âme, with an introduction by Abbé de La Mennais, Paris Renduel 1835]: "Nothing proves better the spirit of democracy of our time than this dedication of a young poet to an old chansonnier". He applauded his inspirations, "so often happy, full of a warm facility and a poësie de coeur too rare in those of our writers who see in style only an artist's satisfaction". He saw in this work "the most biting criticism of the absurd laws with which we have been endowed", but he points out, at the risk of sounding like an "old pedant", a few errors... "The more one insists on inculcating one's ideas in the reader, the more one can be sure that they are correct. The more one wishes to inculcate one's ideas and feelings in others, the more, in my opinion, it is one's duty to work on the form which must serve as a passport"... In view of the political situation, he discusses the fate of their friend TRELAT and adds: "Hope is the word which must be repeated most today, and in his letter, M. de LAMENNAIS gives you the best reasons for this. Let's hope for T., let's hope for France, and for her above all, let's hope that youth will at last recognize what is the right road to follow to be useful to her and keep her at the head of nations"... February 21, 1840. He congratulates Imberdis on his Histoire des guerres religieuses en Auvergne, pendant les XVIe et XVIIe siècles: "It is a song of glory and sorrow for your beloved Auvergne [...]. Your style has all the warmth befitting the painting of the bloody dramas unfolding in the chosen period"... As for himself, he would perhaps be more in the school of MICHELET, but hopes "that all France and Paris especially will do this history of Auvergne the justice it deserves"... Enclosed: - 4 l.a.s. from Adolphe CREMIEUX to Imberdis (1858-1867); - a l.a.s. from Auguste VALETTE; - a contract from Charles Lahure for the printing of Imberdis's book on Auvergne (1857, plus letter of dispatch from Ch. Lahure); - and a proof book of an introduction to L'Auvergne, with pasted-on press clipping.

But it doesn't matter, Mom; you have to wear yourself out the way you are, and hang on to the thousands of loving branches that will bind us forever and ever. She knows it, the little woman. - But our existence is so tormented, and there's so little hay at the rack! What do you want, we don't know what we're saying anymore, or rather, we go too far, because there's so much to say! If I don't tell you to come, it's because it was agreed that you wouldn't move from Paris this month; otherwise it's not serious: money spent, Marcel left to his own devices for 4 or 5 days, because if you came I'd keep you as much as possible, we mustn't do that [...] Anyway, I'm better in general, but what a change of regime!

Miscellaneous news... -5 July. Complaints about his sons: "Here are two lazy wretches who can boast of giving me trouble! I'm sure I'll take a dislike to them. When will that great coward Marcel understand all the sacrifices we make for him, and all the trouble he causes me, by going around telling everyone about his sad affair! It's heartbreaking!

The need to obey established authority is the safeguard of all governments; for legitimate power itself, it is the surest guarantee of the prompt submission of peoples. Canon Escoïquiz's interview with NAPOLEON confirms what experience has taught us all too well, that princes are often at fault and almost always incapable of recognizing it. The note he has added since Napoleon's fall is a blight. The canon thinks, no doubt, that what dishonors is more useful to rest and favor than the pride of the soul.

He wrote: "[...] this affair has a prodigious impact and I have no doubt that its importance will call me to Paris as a witness. [...] I confess to you that I am quite saddened by the thought of appearing before a court of law, and having to deal with journalists and the public. I know that I'm here in the interests of society, and I need to remind myself of the motto that the Amberts of the first line have always put into practice: 'Do what you must, come what may' [...]".

Beautiful letter written a few days before his death (June 27, at the battle of Oberhausen; at 56, he had volunteered). He is on his way to join General MOREAU's headquarters in Bavaria... "... The way the French are going, they don't march but seem to fly, they could well be 80 or 100 leagues from Basel in 8 days, before it would have been possible for me to join them"... He will take the safest route via Zurich and Constance. "I report that I will reach my destination in Memmingen, where headquarters are located, in 3 or 6 days. [...] Moreau's army is obtaining new successes every day, and the Telegraph announces that General SUCHET has succeeded in cutting off 5,000 men of the army under General Mélas, the same ones who had advanced as far as the Var, and that he has taken them prisoner. He adds: "If you receive any letters addressed to me under the title of 1st grenadier of the armies, please remove this title".

We enclose 2 L.S. addressed to him by brigadier general DUMAS (Elizondo18 frimaire III) and by commissaire ordonnateur LE FEUVRE (25 floréal VIII), concerning his pay, which will be doubled as a tribute to "your bravery, your virtues and the courage you have never ceased to display in defense of the Republic". - L.A.S., Perpignan December 24, 1785, to M. de LA SALLE CEZEAUX, in Montréal du Condomois; 2 1/2 pages in-4, addressed with red wax seal of arms, with 2 pages in-4 enclosed.

"I have received a very wise plan for my conduct in Spain from Monsieur de Fremeux, and I hope that by following it I will be able to obtain a happy success for my voyage, which he tells me he approves of very much". He will be recommended to the Minister of War in Spain. In addition, he hopes to obtain satisfaction "concerning my denomination of La Tour d'Auvergne, on my captain's commission"; business seems to be going well... He leaves for Spain: "in moving away [...] from the people who are so dear to me in my homeland, I feel that I will not part with them; my heart will always remain entirely with the prince who has showered me with so many kindnesses, with a sister to whom I am tenderly attached, with my comrades and above all with those who, like you, have shown me true attachment"... He enclosed with his letter an autograph copy of a letter from M. de Mirbeck and two letters from the Duc de CRILLON, one addressed to him, the other to the Count of Florida Blanca, recommending La Tour d'Auvergne Corret: "he is descended from a natural son of S.

[Pradt published in 1815 his Histoire de l'ambassade dans le grand-duché de Varsovie, where Napoleon had appointed him in 1812]. "The respect due to persons, or commanded by circumstances, may force a writer to sacrifice some parts of these accounts, whenever the historical truth is not altered by these restrictions. [...] The author of the Warsaw Embassy experienced that sort of remorse by which prudence takes revenge, as it were, for haste, and calls back the writer who has abandoned himself to a first movement [...].For example, how to make the sentence we will read below appear with propriety before the eyes of the Russian emperor, who had arrived in Paris for the second time with his sword in his hand, and who was there when the embassy appeared [...] The same goes for M. de TALLEYRAND. de TALLEYRAND. Napoleon's word about him was bloody, and all the more unfortunate in that it recounted a true thing"... Pradt has therefore excised from his manuscript certain phrases that he transcribes here, in particular NAPOLEON's words, which he restores here. For example: "L'Empereur Alexandre fait le petit mutin, mais je l'écraserai"; or about Talleyrand, whom he wanted to appoint to Warsaw: "mais il a été le bavarder à un tas de vieilles femmes, c'est un homme fini"; as well as a cruel remark about the Empress of Austria. Pradt also gives an account of General SEBASTIANI and the defense of Paris against the Allies... Attached is a manuscript: "Lettres de M. de Pradt à M. de Bassano depuis le 9 mai" (6 p. petit in-4, in titled folder), analyzing this correspondence from May 9 to July 13, 1812.
