Camille Desmoulins manuscript fragment about the freedom of the press

Manuscripts

A fragment from a longer manuscript, possibly from Le Vieux Cordelier, number seven; the two-page autograph manuscript concerns the freedom of the press. In the upper left corner is the number 13 and directly below is an autograph note in another hand dated 1865; the two pages are heavily corrected and lined through, though the text remains legible on both pages. The accompanying material, all in French, includes a catalogue description, a partial transcription, and further information about the sale of the manuscript.
