"François René De Chateaubriand Autograph Letter Signed"
Autograph letter signed to Chevalier Artaud de Montor. Paris June 22, 1836; 1 page in-8°.“Your story of Pius VII, Sir, came to me at the very moment when I was immersed in all the horrors and embarrassments of a publication: I am finally free and I will hasten to read your important work. I am not a Prince, Sir, but your devoted servant…” Chateaubriand must undoubtedly be referring to the publication of his “essay on English literature and considerations on the genius of men, times and revolutions”
