Alphonse de LAMARTINE (1790 - 1869), French writer
Autograph letter signed "dear and illustrious colleague". Paris, October 20, 1849; 3 pages in-8 °.
Beautiful letter of praise in which the deputy Lamartine praises Science against "socialist stupidities".
Lamartine read the "Monge". "But it's from the Academy of Sciences. Too high for me. I thank you for the name of Burgundy [Lamartine is from Mâcon]. But what I received and read the next day was the beautiful manifesto against the socialist stupidities of M. Pelletier. It is a sign of the subject of you and theirs. It is the reasoned and overwhelming eloquence of common sense served by science. I see unanimous success. I am still sick with my rheumatism on my stomach (…) I am still in a lot of pain and I cannot join you, assuming that the weather relieves me only at the end of November. You don't need me right now and I have a conscientious feeling that I would be doing more harm than help in both causes. It consoles me for my enforced idleness (…) "
