8vo. 3 pp. on bifolium. Interesting letter to the unnamed Émile de Girardin at La Presse, concerning the publication of Lamartine's most important historical work, "Histoire des Girondins", in La Presse. Lamartine quotes a note that he published in his own oppositional journal for the département Saône-et-Loire, "Le Bien public", addressing his "reservations against the contract" that his "acquirers have made concerning the Histoire des Girondins". Lamartine accuses these acquirers to have unrightfully sold the publishing rights to his work to La Presse and expresses his hope that the problem will be resolved between him and Girardin: "Je ne puis renoncer pour eux au seul et très légitime moyen que j'aye de me libérer de charges énormes : la vente par souscription de l'ouvrage le plus important le plus étudié, et le plus volumineux de tous mes ouvrages. L'uvre de six ans. J'espère qu'aucune polémique ne se lèvera entre la Presse et moi à ce sujet. Nous avons entre nous mes acquerreurs. Nous n'avons, vous et moi, de comptes à demander qu'à eux seuls. Ils doivent répondre, à moi de ce qu'ils vous ont vendu sans droit ; à vous de ce qu'ils ne pourraient livrer sans me dépouiller et par conséquent sans résistance victorieuse de ma part. J'espère que tout cela s'arrangera en sauvegardant les droits de tout le monde. J'y apporterai cet esprit de conciliation, de respect pour la publicité, de reconnaissance pour la Presse et d'attachement pour vous [.]". - The first volume of "Histoire des Girondins" had already been published on 20 March 1847 by Furne and Coquebert. The specific contractual problem between Lamartine and La Presse regarding a serialization remains a subject of research. The publication of Lamartine's "work of six years", his "most important, most researched, and the most comprehensive" production, as he describes it in the letter, was accompanied by an unprecedented publicity campaign which proved extremely successful. - On stationery with embossed monogram. Recipient's marks in ink and pencil. Minimal browning and stains. With a small hole partly affecting the text.
