A reply to Edward Gibbon's Memoire Justificatif. not to be confused with de Rayneval's response of the same name. "This work by the famous playwright was part of the pamphlet war that flared over French support of the Americans in the Revolution" Bell. Beaumarchais who wrote the libretti of The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro was an avid supporter of the colonists' plight and had been instrumental in obtaining and transporting arms and ammunition to the Americans under the firm name of Roderigue Hortalez & Co. Later however there was some confusion about whether the supplies were gifts from the French government and Beaumarchais was never properly compensated. His heirs were finally paid $800000 in 1835 only a portion of the actual amount owed him. This present pamphlet is a justification of French policy during the American Revolution and an account of French and American grievances against Great Britain. According to Streeter this "represents the first diplomatic approach to the international problem of the recognition of neutrals of seceded colonies and revolutionary governments"-- Streeter Sale 797. unknown

Adams 79-8b. Gephart 12818. Sabin 4182. Goldsmiths I-11908. Etcheverria & Wilkie 779/12. Fay 12. JFBell B-129. Caron de Beaumarchais 1732-1799 was a playwright watchmaker and adventurer whose best-known works are "The Marriage of Figaro" and "The Barber of Seville". At the behest of Joseph Duverney financier and advisor to Mme de Pompadour he was sent on several missions to England and to Spain to try to secure a monopoly on the slave trade; although unsuccessful he managed through other undertakings to become financially secure enough to purchase the post of "King's Secretary". Beaumarchais was already surreptitiously supplying arms to the American colonies when France came into the war officially in 1778 on the side of the Americans. He now organized a fleet of merchant ships whose purpose was to supply cannon and ammunition to the Continental Congress in exchange for produce especially tobacco. Forty years later his daughter was still waiting for compensation said to be approximately twenty million francs. As a supporter of the French Revolution Beaumarchais' position at the Court was suspect; he spent some time in prison and then fled to England and thence to the Continent; his Paris property was confiscated. He returned to Paris in 1796 but died in relative poverty in 1799. This work was written in response to an earlier work by Edward Gibbon concerning the assistance given by France to the Americans during the Revolutionary War and is "a recital of French and U.S. grievances against Great Britain and a justification of French policy." - Etcheverria & Wilkie.

94311Paris Ruault 1773-1775. . Sammelband mit 10 Beiträgen. - Hintergrund waren Erbstreitigkeiten zwischen dem Autor von "Figaros Hochzeit" dem "Barbier von Sevilla" und vieler anderer bekannter Bühnenwerke und dem Erben seines ehemaligen Geschäftspartners Pâris-Duverney Graf de La Blache. Beaumarchais konnte vor Gericht mit seinem Anspruch auf einen Anteil des Firmenkapitals nicht durchsetzen. Versuche über Geschenke an Gabrielle Julie de Goezmann die Gattin des zuständigen Richters Louis Valentin de Goezmann 1730-1794 zu seinem Recht zu kommen scheiterten nicht nur sondern mündeten in einer Anzeige Goezmanns gegen Beaumarchais wegen Verleumdung und Bestechung. Nun ging Beaumarchais mit vier zwischen November 1773 und Februar 1774 publizierten Mémoirs an die Öffentlichkeit in denen er seine Sache meisterlich vertrat die Gegenseite jedoch in Unrecht setzte und der Lächerlichkeit preisgab. Die Mémoirs sind hier samt Ergänzungen Urteilen Stellungnahmen Zusammenfassungen der Verhandlungen im Parlament und vor Gericht abgedruckt. Danach war die öffentliche Meinung auch in anderen Ländern auf seiner Seite Beaumarchais bekam aber dennoch unrecht und verlor seine Bürgerrechte. Der Ruf des Richters allerdings war ebenfalls ruiniert. - Der Sammelband enthält: 1. Mémoire a consulter pour Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais . 42. S. 1773. / 2.
