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 "</em></p><p>Condorcet and Brissot jointly carried out during the Revolution a decisive action against slavery within the <em>Société des Amis des Noirs</em>. The parliamentary debate crystallized in June 1789 around the question of admitting a deputation of colonists from Saint-Domingue to the <em>Assemblée nationale constituante</em>. By sending Brissot <em>" un petit ouvrage "</em> of his own writing on this subject <em>Sur l'admission des députés des planteurs de Saint Domingue dans l'Assemblée nationale</em> Condorcet nevertheless explains that he had to give up sending a memorandum in the name of the <em>Société des Amis des Noirs</em> 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 <em>à contre-emploi</em>.<br />Later he also asks Brissot for news of the <em>" plan de municipalité "</em> then under discussion which aimed to allow the <em>" patriote "</em> municipality—created on June 25 1789 and in which Brissot sat—not to remain hostage to the sixty Parisian districts which were showing <em>" indépendance "</em> tendencies that Condorcet deemed harmful.<br />Finally Condorcet asks his correspondent to deliver <em>" deux billets "</em> to M. de Gramagnac secretary of the <em>Société des Amis des Noirs</em>. He recommends that Gramagnac visit the Florentine merchant Filippo Mazzei 1730–1816 also a fervent abolitionist and member of the <em>Société des Amis des Noirs</em> to obtain the <em>" signature "</em> of Abbé Scipione Piattoli 1749–1809. Piattoli's membership in the <em>Société des Amis des Noirs</em> was all the more valuable because he was <em>" connu "</em> 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.</p><p><u>Provenance:</u><br />Drouot 2 Apr. 2003 n°19<br />M.L.M.
