"IN THIS COUNTRY, MADAM, WE DO NOT KNOW THE PROFESSION OF THE VANQUISHED"
SIMON
(Jules François, 1814-1896, French Statesman and Philosopher, Prime Minister of France)
Autograph Letter Signed in French with Translation to an unnamed correspondent
saying that he had "no idea that you took the trouble to send to me the Independent Review. I found it at home; and as Mr. Geth sent it to me from time to time, I believed I was the owner. I have read it, I am bringing it back to you, and I owe you a thousand thanks. I owe you much more, Madam, for the part you are willing to take in my misfortune. I dare say that I endure it gallantly, I don't want to allow vanity to bring trouble into my home; and besides the benevolence of all that we have here most illustrious and most honest, yours, Madam, which is very precious to me, enough, and beyond, to heal a so light injury. Only one thought is hard enough to me; I was not beaten only by my natural enemies. It is an outlaw, like me, who indulgently helped my defeat. In this country, Madam, we do not know the profession of the vanquished. I do not say this out of boast, but with real sadness, because that is why we have been defeated so often, and for so long ...", 2 sides 8vo., Paris, 22nd February
