Jean Maximilien LAMARQUE Mémoires et souvenirs du général Maximien (sic) Lamarque publiés par sa famille

Jean Maximilien LAMARQUE

Mémoires et souvenirs du général Maximien (sic) Lamarque publiés par sa famille

H. Fournier jeune, Paris 1835, 12,5x21,5cm, 3 volumes reliés.


First edition.
Bindings in half Empire green sheepskin, smooth backs discolored and lightened adorned with quadruple golden threads, traces of rubbing on the backs, marbled paper plates with scuffs, yellow slices, some dull corners, bindings of the time.
Ex-donos with the feather of a previous proportion of the book on the guards of the volumes, some small frighteners without gravity and some snags on the cuts.
Illustrated book of a portrait of Maximilian Lamarque frontispiece of the first volume.
Our copy is enriched by an exceptional autograph letter signed by a page of Maximilian Lamarque, at the head of his staff, written at his headquarters in Nantes on August 15, 1830 and in which he takes surprisingly the defense of officers who violated the orders of the colonel of the 10th Light Infantry Regiment to whom this letter is addressed and who went as far as to desert: "... some of the officers who left you on the road to Ancenis, fear to be badly received by you, for the reason that you may judge, that they have failed in discipline.I warn you that I approve in all their conduct, that I would have done like them if I have been in your regiment, that I will do all that will depend on me, to make them have rewards, and that you will be in my eyes responsible for all that can happen to them of unpleasant in the body that you order.
There are circumstances in which the love of the country and of liberty, where the fear of making war on one's country, makes it possible to break all ties and to trample under foot all the ordinances. Those in which we found ourselves have in my eyes this number.
On the sidelines of this letter, an observer expresses his astonishment about this antimilitarist letter of a hero of the Revolution and the Empire.
