8vo and 4to. Together 11½ pp. 4 letters with autograph address. Correspondence with his older brother, the cleric Jean-Marie de La Mennais (1780-1860), concerning his work as a Christian journalist, the failed concordat of 1817, the completion of his latest publication, and health problems. - In the earliest letter, dated 20 February 1818, Lamennais announces that he is working on the final revisions of his book, almost certainly "Tradition de l'église sur l'institution des évêques", already dreading the "annoying work on the proofs" and lamenting: "What a sad profession, that of an author!" (transl.). He also announces the organisation of "some means of defense for religion", which was supposed to be the monthly publication of a "Revue morale et littéraire". But despite the very concrete description of this publication, down to page count, price, distribution, and contributors which would have included Pierre-Denis Boyer, Claude-Hippolyte Clausel de Montals, and Antoine Eugène Genoud, it was never realized. In this letter, Lamennais also first mentions the concordat of 11 June 1817 that was already signed but would never be ratified, which was not clear at this point: "On attend, dit-on, des reponses de Rome au sujet du Concordat : reponses à quoi ? probablement à la demande d'une reduction dans le nombre des évêches. On a renoncé à instituer en vertu du Concordat de 1801, parce-qu'on a su que les évêques auraient refusé les bulles". - On 3 March 1818, Lamennais sent his brother a bill of exchange, possibly from his publisher, jointly with the letter at hand. Apparently, he had accrued significant debt with his brother, which embarrassed him: "the money disappears in my hands". He then mentions that the bishop of Rennes, Étienne-Célestin Enoch, reproached him for not having sent him a copy of his latest book, which he resolved by promising him an inscribed copy of the second edition. At the same time, he hoped that the bishop would forget his explicit wish for Lamennais to sign the copy using the title "canon of Rennes", which he did not like. - A short glimpse of the political situation with the expected resignation of Joseph-Henri-Joachim Lainé as minister of the interior, which would, however, only occur in December, is followed by a deeply pessimistic conclusion concerning Lamennais' inner life: "In my life I have never been so unhappy as I have been for two years. What I suffer is inexpressible. Before that I could still hope for a little rest on earth; now, none. I look at death and embrace it with all my heart. Far from applauding the success of my book, I see in it the ruin of the only good I had left to make life bearable, a profound obscurity; and I don't see even the shadow of a small consolation for myself". - In the following letter from 15 March, Lamennais again discusses the revue wherein he would have wanted to propose his "completely new theory of spiritual power", while admitting that "the poor revue doesn't work". He mentions a contribution by the important counter-revolutionary philosopher and politician Louis de Bonald and an article on Voltaire, Helvétius, and Rousseau by Antoine Eugène Genoud that could not be published and needed to be replaced. Apart from the revue that was already struggling before its launch, Lamennais was suffering from migraine and desired to visit his brother in Brittany. However, a possible visit by Harry Moorman, a former student from London where Lamennais had gone as an exile during the Hundred Days, kept him from doing so. His great suffering leads him to ask, "I'd like to know why we come to this world. It's not for fun, that's for sure". - On 20 March 1818, Lamennais talks about new developments regarding the concordat, mentioning a Papal brief wherein Pope Pius VII expresses "his astonishment that a treaty so solemn, so sacred as the concordat remains unenforced" and complained about the "so extraordinary delay". In this respect, he announces a forthcoming article by Pierre-Denis Boyer, asserting that "an examination of all these works, pointing out their inconsistencies, developing their admissions, etc., etc., would ruin Gallicanism, which I can already see crumbling under its own weight". Lamennais ultramontane sympathies are spelled out in the following letter from 7 April, although he decries the term as a slanderous watchword used by its opponents: "He speaks of organizing the clergy in a constitutional manner, independently of any concordat, and this, in his opinion, is the only political and legal way to end this affair. The bottom line is schism and supremacy; and the watchword against defenders of Catholic principles is ultramontanism". With this letter, Lamennais forwarded an original letter by the politician Étienne-Denis Pasquier (1767-1862) dated 7 April (fol. 2r), wherein Pasquier, then minister of justice, promises Jean-Marie de La Mennais to support a candidate for a taking over the notary's office in Pléhédel, Brittany. - In the final letter of the collection, dated 13 October 1818, Lamennais informs his brother that he has taken out subscriptions to Le Conservateur and Le Spectateur for him, as requested. He was pondering whether to write an article for Le Conservateur following an attempt by an unnamed minister to bar Denis Frayssinous and Jean-Jacques Fayet from writing for the journal: "I was so outraged by this that I feel like inserting an article in Le Conservateur and signing it, to show that not all priests let threats get in their way. Let me know what you think." - Somewhat creased and stained. Minor browning. The letter from 3 March 1818 with an deep tear and damage from an unprofessional restoration affecting the text but no text loss.

8vo. 1 page on bifolium with integral address panel. To Monsieur Gaubert with apologies for making him wait for a servant called Victor, who would be taken into service, and a new appointment for the meeting: "Je regrette beaucoup, cher Docteur, de vous avoir fait attendre le petit domestique que vous voulez bien prendre à votre service. Ce retard a tenu à des circonstances que je ne pouvais prévoir. Mais demain, à 2 heures, Victor sera chez vous, et je crois être sûr que vous aurez lieu d'être content de lui [.]". - Counter-leaf with a small tear due to opening of the letter; some brownstaining from glue residue.

8vo. ½ p. on bifolium. With autograph address and red wax seal. To Edmond Laporte in Paris, probably an autograph collector, apologizing that he can only send him this "simple letter", which nevertheless should count as a token of his good will: "Je regrette, Monsieur, de ne pouvoir vous envoyer que ce simple billet. Il vous prouvera du moins la bonne volonté de celui qui vous prie d'agréer l'expression cordiale de ses sentiments". - With the stamp of an autograph collection underneath the address panel. Traces of folds.

8vo. 1 p. on bifolium. With autograph address. To the lawyer and politician Isaac-Jacob Adolphe Crémieux, responding to the question whether his 1843 publication "Amschaspands et Darvands" ever was "the subject of legal proceedings" - which had not been the case: "Vous désirez savoir si l'ouvrage que j'ai publié, il y a dix ans, sous le titre Amschaspands et Darvands, a été l'objet de poursuites judiciaires. Non, jamais, et quiconque a lu ce livre sait parfaitement que le parquet, même sous Louis-Philippe, ne pouvait seulement en avoir la pensée". - The title of the book refers to Zoroastrianism: Amahraspands or Amesha Spenta are the seven great divine entities emanating from Ahura Mazda, while darvand denotes the unrighteous. - Minor stains.

8vo. 3 pp. on bifolium. With autograph address panel. In French. Long and important political letter to his close friend Charles Louis Alexandre Coriolis d'Espinouse from the immediate aftermath of the July Revolution that had led to the abdication of Charles X on 2 August 1830. Lamennais anxiously awaits news about the well-being of Coriolis and other friends in Paris, reporting that in Plesder everything "went very smoothly" and that "apart from the colour of the flag, it does not look as if anything has changed". Nevertheless, the revolution was necessary and just to him, affirming that the Bourbons "deserved their defeat" and that "this defeat is without return", as freedom "is the right and the ability to defend oneself against any arbitrary or oppressive will". Lamennais expresses his hope that this principle "will prevail in the government we are about to be given", fearing that despotism will return otherwise: "Clearly, the victors are already divided among themselves. In the depths of their souls, some would like a pure and simple republic, others something similar to Bonaparte's despotism. If the latter obtain a few important concessions, war will begin the next day, and they will push each other, as they did in England, to persecution and perhaps proscription". Therefore, he calls for a strong constitutional monarchy that would reduce the "so-called king" to "a mere dummy". In Lamennais' view, the greatest danger to the constitutional monarchy to be instituted is politcal lethargy: "Then all those, whoever they may be, who have common interests, can and should, if they have any courage and wisdom, organize themselves without ulterior motives, publicly and legally to defend these interests. But to do so, they must not isolate themselves, park themselves, so to speak, and make a foolish and disastrous honor of being nothing and meddling in nothing". He closes with a religious invocation of political strength and wisdom: "The firm man who does not let himself be dominated by illusions never abandons himself. He turns his back on the past, and walks headlong into the future to take his place. God grant that this may be understood". - Lamennais probably feared for his friend Charles Louis Alexandre Coriolis d'Espinouse (1770-1841) as a current or former partisan of Charles X. After all, the marquess was the author of a eulogy for Charles's oldest son Charles-Ferdinand d'Artois, who had been assassinated by a Bonapartist in 1820, and of a panegyric for the 1824 coronation of the Charles X that was published in 1825. - Well preserved.

8vo. 1 p. and 2 lines on bifolium. With autograph address panel. Important political letter to the mathematician, physicist, astronomer, and politician François Arago, congratulating him on his re-election in the 1834 French legislative election, "a true victory for France", and discussing pressing political matters. Lamennais writes that he saw in Arago a trustworthy republican ally, otherwise he would not have made dangerous statements, such as describing the reign of Louis-Philippe as a tyranny and predicting the end of "despotism". In his opinion, the most important project of the opposition was electoral reform, although not politicians but "thousands of petitioners" should demand it, since "petitions have not yet been forbidden", while "it is forbidden to associate to defend one's rights". Finally, he warns Aragon not to trust the opposition members Charles Beslay and his like-named father, as their businesses are "dependent on the government". He also alleges that Beslay, who "does not enjoy a high reputation of integrity", only "escaped the Assizes" due to an illegal intervention by the Minister of Justice Jean-Charles Persil - a piece of information that Arago is instructed to treat with discretion. - François Arago (1786-1853) was on the height of his scientific career as director of the Paris Observatory and perpetual secretary of the Academy of Science when he was first elected deputy in 1831 as part of the Republican opposition to Louis-Philippe. Following the Revolution of 1848, Arago briefly held several ministerial positions in the provisionary government. During his brief term as Minister of the Navy and the Colonies, Arago achieved the abolition of slavery in the French colonies on 27 April 1848. Faced with another undemocratic ruler in 1852, Arago refused to take the required oath of allegiance to Napoleon III and offered to resign as astronomer at the Bureau des Longitudes. The Emperor declined to accept Arago's resignation and made an exception for him. - With tears from breaking the seal.

8vo and 12mo. Altogether 19 pp. Collection of letters written by the forerunner of liberal and social Catholicism. - Among the addressees are the writer and founder of the "Magasin pittoresque" Edouard Charton (1807-90) and the politician Denis Benoist d'Azy (1796-1880). Lamennais recommends a young man to Edouard Charton: "La lettre incluse, mon cher Charton, est d'un jeune homme [.] qui a grand besoin d'être aidé [.]" (undated). In a letter to Denys Benoist he recommends a young officer called Muirson: "Cette lettre, mon cher ami, te sera remise par M. Muirson, l'officier anglois don't je t'ai parlé" (undated). In a letter to Mme. Maillefer he apologizes for being unable to accept an invitation; in a letter to M. Stubes he thanks for his sending him a copy of the "discours de M. Buckingham sur quelques réformes sociales". Other letters are written to colleagues and cardinals. - Lamennais was ordained a priest in 1817, the same year he published "Essai sur l'indifférence en matière de religion". In 1830, he founded "L'Ami de l'ordre" with Montalembert and Lacordaire. His social ideas embraced an enlarged suffrage, separation of church and state, universal freedom of conscience, instruction, assembly, and the press. His radicalism distanced him from a number of his friends. In 1833, he broke with the Church and published "Paroles d'un croyant" in the following year, which Pope Gregory XVI condemned for its philosophical theories. - Some of the letters brownstained.

4to. 2½ pp. With autograph address. Important letter to his older brother Jean-Marie de la Mennais, written from Lamennais' exile in London during the Hundred Days and shortly thereafter. In the long and private letter, Lamennais talks about his decision to take the vows inspired by the Abbé Guy-Toussaint-Julien Carron, who he met in London, his doubts, and inner conflicts: "It is impossible for me to paint his tenderness and kindness for me. Without him, I would never have made the choice he made for me: too many inclinations would have led me in another direction. Even today I cannot think of the quiet and solitary life in the fields, of our books, of the Chenaie, of the charm spread over all these objects, to which are attached all my desires and all my ideas of happiness here on earth, without feeling an inexpressible tightening of the heart [.] But in the end we must conquer everything by renouncing everything." Although he didn't know yet when he and Carron would return to France, he had to consider an "act of charity", as a young student of his from a poor family, had expressed the desire to accompany him and to convert to Catholicism: "Here's the fact: in the boarding house where I live there is a 13-year-old child, gentle, intelligent, and of honorable condition. He was raised Protestant. This child seems to have become attached to me, and to have the desire to come to France. His parents consent to this, and also consent to his embracing the Catholic religion, [.]. I did not reply; but I spoke about it to Mr Carron, who observed to me, with good reason, that although nothing should be neglected to save a soul, nevertheless this new responsibility would perhaps be very burdensome for us." Ultimately, the young man named Henry Moorman didn't join Lamennais but they stayed in contact and Lamennais was deeply affected by his untimely death in 1819. - A somewhat vague political comment concerns the newly restored king Louis XVIII and, most likely, his political weakness and inability to stop the revanchist white terror of his ultraroyalist base: "The hand of God is upon Europe. [.] One can only pity the King, who is marching with great strides towards his ruin. He is one of the most astonishing and lamentable examples of blindness that has yet frightened the earth."- Provenance: Collection of Daniel Sickles (XV, 6458). - With a small tear from breaking the seal. - Correspondance générale (éd. L. Le Guillou), t.I, n°151, p.265. Ancienne collection Daniel Sickles (XV, 6458).

4to. 2½ pp. With autograph address and red seal. Charming letter to his older brother Jean-Marie de la Mennais, written from his exile in London during the Hundred Days, concerning his brother's library, the price of books in England and his work as a teacher in a boarding school: "Knowing how attached you are to your fine library, I learn with great joy that you have further increased it. You still lack, it seems to me, a few Church Fathers [] principally Saint Epiphanius, Saint Gregory of Nyssa &c. Books here are overpriced. Nevertheless, if there are any you would like, I will do everything in my power to get them for you []." His thirty pupils are "all very honest, very gentle, and much easier to lead (allow me to tell you) than would be thirty young Frenchmen of the same age []". - With a small tear from breaking the seal.
