In-8, cartonnage marbré moderne à la Bradel, 8 p. Edition originale et unique de cette importante et virulente intervention de Cloots qui marque sa rupture avec les Girondins. "Soumis au feu de critiques, Cloots va riposter au cours d'une séance mémorable du club des Jacobins, le 26 novembre, où l'on procède à la première séance d'épuration en radiant Roland, Lanthenas... Cloots demande la parole pour se justifier et confondre les 'Rolando-Brissotins' (…)". Il évoque son repas avec Roland qui l'a traité de "parasite", rappelle son itinéraire politique et oppose sa droiture à la fourberie "d'espions gagés par la police". Il aborde également la question de son opposition au "cabinet de St James" à Saint-Domingue et justifie son soutien à l'abolition immédiate de l'esclavage, position qui lui fut violemment reprochée (cf. R. Mortier, 'A. Cloots', p. 347-348). (Martin & Walter, I, 7774. Tourneux, 9338). Papier bruni. Bon exemplaire.

The paper is darkened with some staining not affecting the signature. The paper is mounted on a sheet of yellow paper and has been folded twice for mailing. Good. <p>The British antislavery orator and activist George Donisthorpe Thompson 1804-1878 worked toward the abolition of slavery through lecture tours and by introducing legislation while serving as a member of Parliament. An able orator he was hired by the London Anti-Slavery Society in 1831. While in Scotland in 1832 where he became interested in abolishing slavery in the United States as well as other parts of the world he met William Lloyd Garrison and the African-American abolitionist Nathaniel Paul. Invited to visit New England by Garrison he traveled to the US in 1834 where he drew the attention of pro-slavery supporters and was forced to flee for his life. The Hobart Town Courier later printed a letter in which Thompson stated that he had ".left the United Sates to escape the assassins knife." the editor noting that attempts had been made to "burn and murder" him in several US towns. He returned to the US following the passing of the Fugitive Slave Law in 1850. By then the abolitionist movement having substantially grown and gained in influence Thompson found a warmer welcome. Returning to London he and his son founded the London Emancipation Society which supported the Union during the Civil War. Returning to America he allied himself with William Wells Brown and met President Abraham Lincoln. Throughout his life Thompson was a powerful voice for emancipation. He supported East Indian reform free trade Chartism non-resistance and the peace movement often protesting legislation that offered only limited restrictions on slavery.<p>RARE.
