1789réf. Condorcet2CONDORCET de Nicolas 1743-1794 Autograph letter to Jacques Pierre Brissot N.p.n.d. 25 June 1789 2 p. in-12° on laid bi-folio Watermark cropped: Cornet à courroie double sur écu coiffé d'une couronne / pendentif petite fleur de lis renversée / "D & C BLAUW" An ink blot on the first page evidence of a fold by Condorcet while the ink was still wet. Five redactions and an interlinear insertion in his hand with very browning Nice letter on his fight against slavery in the early days of the Revolution " J'ai l'honneur de vous envoier Monsieur un petit ouvrage que je viens de publier Sur l'admission des députés des planteurs de Saint Domingue dans l'Assemblée nationale. Je crois ce que j'y propose propre á concilier le droit et la paix. Je n'ai point ecrit a M. de Clermont-Tonnerre ma lettre etait faite mais j'ai appris diverses circonstances particulieres qui en rendaient l'envoi dangereux pour notre cause. Les amis des noirs sont dans une minorité que la majorité cherche à humilier le president du comité rapport à qui on aurait renvoie la lettre est un colon les planteurs effraient nos commercans en parlant de separation et auraient effrayé les gens moderés en parlant de revolte á Saint Domingue. J'ai donc cru devoir attendre. Quand aurons-nous donc enfin le plan de municipalité de Paris á examiner dans les districts plus on tardera plus l'idée d'independance fera de progrès dans les districts. On prend aisement l'habitude de gouverner et on a peine à le quitter. Agreez je vous supplie les assurances de mon inviolable attachement. Comme je vais à Versailles et que j'y reste quelques jours je vous prie de vouloir bien vous charger de ces deux billets pour M. de Gramagnac en le priant de passer chez M. Mazzei chargé d'affaires du Roi de Pologne hotel des colonies rue des Prouvaires afin de terminer avec lui. Il manque encore un nom mais comme le Roi connait M. l'abbé Piatoli qui demeure dans le même hotel que M. Mazzei je crois qu'il faut preferer sa signature á une autre " Condorcet and Brissot jointly carried out during the Revolution a decisive action against slavery within the Société des Amis des Noirs. The parliamentary debate crystallized in June 1789 around the question of admitting a deputation of colonists from Saint-Domingue to the Assemblée nationale constituante. By sending Brissot " un petit ouvrage " of his own writing on this subject Sur l'admission des députés des planteurs de Saint Domingue dans l'Assemblée nationale Condorcet nevertheless explains that he had to give up sending a memorandum in the name of the Société des Amis des Noirs to Deputy Clermont-Tonnerre who was then presiding over the Assembly to oppose this admission. As the majority of the Assembly was in favor he rightly considered that such a claim would be à contre-emploi. Later he also asks Brissot for news of the " plan de municipalité " then under discussion which aimed to allow the " patriote " municipality—created on June 25 1789 and in which Brissot sat—not to remain hostage to the sixty Parisian districts which were showing " indépendance " tendencies that Condorcet deemed harmful. Finally Condorcet asks his correspondent to deliver " deux billets " to M. de Gramagnac secretary of the Société des Amis des Noirs. He recommends that Gramagnac visit the Florentine merchant Filippo Mazzei 1730–1816 also a fervent abolitionist and member of the Société des Amis des Noirs to obtain the " signature " of Abbé Scipione Piattoli 1749–1809. Piattoli's membership in the Société des Amis des Noirs was all the more valuable because he was " connu " to the king for having been a member of the court of the King of Poland Stanislas-Auguste Poniatowski for whom Mazzei was then acting as agent in Paris.

Georges-Louis Leclerc Comte de Buffon was a noted scientist whose monumental works in natural sciences influenced the next two generations of naturalists including Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Georges Cuvier. Mayr The Growth of Biological Thought. p 330 Buffon's work was based on the methods of observation and experimentation. He raised many of the fundamental problems of biology in a scientific context. One of Buffon's most important contributions was the popularization of the old earth theory in opposition to Archbishop Ussher's biblical earth time-line. Buffon was an important pre-cursor to Darwin. Cited as the father of biogeography Buffon's Law postulated that creatures "improved" and "degenerated" after dispersing from a center of creation. He based his theory on comparative anatomy studies. Buffon tried to explain the origin of living things by spontaneous generation of elementary particles and its development as a consequence of climate and diet. Buffon argued that all members of a family of species descended from the same ancestors a "unity of type".

A major cultural event of the last decade of the ancien regime a beautiful monument to Voltaire the greatest man that literature had produced. Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais led a controversial life. Playwright The Marriage of Figaro politician publisher entrepreneur spy supplier of munitions for the American Revolution and an early champion of the rights of artists and intellectual property. Shortly after the death of Voltaire in 1778 Beaumarchais set out to publish Voltaire's complete works many of which were banned in France and vehemently condemned by the Church. Royal letters would be censored by Frederick II of Germany Catharine II of Russia and others. He bought the rights to most of Voltaire's many manuscripts from publisher Charles-Joseph Panckoucke in 1779. To evade censorship printing presses were set up in the small neutral independant state of Baden at Kehl. Beaumarchais bought with exclusivity the complete foundry of the famous English type designer John Baskerville for the Societe Litteraire Typographique an organization he established to produce editions in which he was interested. Three paper mills were purchased. Seventy volumes were published between 1783 to 1790. While the venture proved a financial failure Beaumarchais was instrumental in preserving many of Voltaire's later works which otherwise might have been lost. The Kehl edition was banned on French territory until 1789. Baskerville font was revived by Americans in the 20th century.
