ref. 020928Alfred Naquet (1834-1916), chimiste, médecin, homme politique, promoteur du divorce. L.A.S., Paris, 26 novembre 1911, 3p in-12. A Laurent Tailhade (1854-1919), poète, écrivain, pamphlétaire. « Mon bien cher ami, Tout à l'heure, je cherchais dans ma bibliothèque le livre de Mermeix sur l'Angleterre "aperçus inconnus" que j'avais besoin de consulter et je ne l'ai pas trouvé. Je me suis alors demandé à qui je pouvais bien l'avoir prêté, et quoique ma mémoire sur ce point soit très confuse, il m'a paru que c'était vous. Je n'en suis malheureusement rien de moins que certain. Mais si par hasard c'était exacte, vous seriez bien aimable de me le renvoyer, sauf à la reprendre ensuite si vous n'en avez pas achevé la lecture. & si, mieux inspiré encore, vous me le rapportiez vous-même en me prévenant du jour et de l'heure afin que je ne vous manque pas, je serais tout-à-fait heureux car cela me vaudrait le plaisir, dont je suis vraiment trop sevré de tailler une bavette avec vous. Croyez mon cher ami à ma toujours bien vive amitié & veuillez présenter à madame Tailhade, avec les meilleurs souvenirs de ma femme, l'expression de mes sentiments respectueux, sans oublier Laurence qui devient peut-être déjà très grande fille sans doute mais pas encore, allez-vous m'empêcher de lui envoyer un baiser. A. Naquet ». Peu commun. [508]

This Edition is published under the direct supervision of the LAW REPORTER OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, and is the only one containing the Suppressed Testimony. Edwin Forrest (1806-1872) was born in Philadelphia to the impoverished runaway son of a Scottish squire and the daughter of middle-class German immigrants. He is generally acknowledged as the first star and grand tragedian of the American stage. Forrest's power derived mainly from his commanding physique. He stood five feet ten inches tall with a noticeably muscular build (he always favored roles which allowed him to display his massive arms and legs), that on stage made him appear like a giant. Combined with a magnetic presence, a deep, penetrating voice, sdonic good looks, his acting was an overwhelming experience. In the 1840's mutual jealousy and machinations lead to a serious feud with the English actor William Charles Macready. In May 1849, when Macready was acting Macbeth at the Astor Place Opera House in New York, the friends of Forrest hissed and interrupted the performance. Things snowballed out of control, coming to a head in the bloody Astor Place New York Riots in which 23 died and hundreds were injured. Forrest almost certainly had a hand in provoking this incident. In 1851 a second event leading to his wane in popularity was the divorce from his wife. After a two year court battle during which time each had quite publicly, and probably accurately, accused the other of infidelity (Forrest being connected with Josephine Clifton). The trial lasted thirty-two days and ended with Mr Forrest losing the case, his wife being granted alimony of $3,000 per year. Crowds cheered as she left the court. He followed up the verdict with five appeals. Forrest had his own supporters, and continued to play to sold out theatres (during intermissions he made passionate speeches about the trial). To the end of his life he was an injured and bitter man. Very good. Hardbound. Cohen. Bibliography of Early American Law 11443. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! AI BX 3
ref. 017135Alfred Naquet (1834-1916), chimiste, médecin, homme politique, promoteur du divorce. L.A.S., Versailles, 9 mars 1874, 1p in-8. A Philippe Bordone (1821-1892), médecin, chirurgien militaire dit le général Bordone. « Cher ami, Vous vous illusionnez étrangement si vous croyez qu'il y a de ma faute dans ce qui se passe. Ledru n'a accepté la candidature qu'à la condition de ne pas aller là-bas ; il s'est refusé à écrire et à donner de l'argent avant, il se refuse à écrire après, malgré tout ce qu'on peut lui dire ! Qu'y puis-je ? Ce n'est pas un homme qu'on manoeuvre à son gré quoiqu'on en ait pu dire. Vous le verrez si vous venez. Quand je reçois des protestations qui ne sont pas en règle, je réponds pour les faire mettre en règle ; mais je n'ai encore à peu près rien reçu si ce n'est du Thor et de Cavaillon. Ne vous inquiétez donc pas de cela, recueillez tout ce que vous pourrez et adressez-le moi. Bien à vous. A Naquet ». Il est évidemment question d'Alexandre Ledru-Rollin (1807-1874), alors député du Vaucluse depuis le 1er mars. Cette lettre, même si elle ne le mentionne pas, fait référence à l'affaire Aimé Boussot (1812-1892), maire de Cavaillon révoqué par Mac-Mahon. Peu commun [401]

A Laurent Tailhade (1854-1919), poète, écrivain, pamphlétaire. « Mon cher ami, Il n'y a que deux difficultés. La première que je n'ai plus le livre qu'on m'a repris ; la seconde que je n'ai reçu aucune réponse d'Amérique & que le livre porte : tous droits réservés. La jeune mère qui me l'avait prêté m'a promis d'écrire à l'auteur. Quant à la traduction, je ne l'ai pas commencée, n'ayant nulle envie de perdre mon temps alors que je ne suis pas certain qu'elle puisse être publiée. Attendons donc pour le moment. Hier soir, j'ai reçu la visite d'un ami à moi qui est également l'ami de MMrs Rheims & Fray. Le monsieur, à qui MMrs Rheims et Fray avaient raconté leur participation à la trop petite souscription que j'ai faite, m'a spontanément apporté 2 louis, en me priant de ne pas faire connaître son nom. Je l'en ai remercié, et je les tiens à votre disposition : je vous les apporterai à ma première visite. cordialement à vous. A Naquet ». Rappelons que Tailhade est condamné à un an de prison, suite à un article considéré comme un appel au meurtre du tsar Nicolas II, en visite en France. Il fera six mois à partir d'octobre 1901.

ref. 017062Alfred Naquet (1834-1916), chimiste, médecin, homme politique, promoteur du divorce. Manuscrit A.S., 30 juin 1912, 1/2p in-4. A l'écrivain et avocat Jean-Bernard (1857-1936). Intéressante réponse à une enquête sur le délit d'adultère lancée par La Presse Associée dont Jean-Bernard est directeur. « Le délit d'adultère inscrit au Code Pénal est absurde et la proposition de Violette doit être énergiquement soutenue. [.] L'adultère [.] reste attardé de vieilles civilisations qui consacraient l'esclavage de la femme. [.] le délit d'adultère est un anachronisme et une honte ». On joint deux copies tapuscrites de sa réponse. Document un peu sali, encre éclaircie en bordure. Très beau document. [398]
