LAMARTINE Alphonse de (1790-1869)
L.A.S. "Lamartine", Paris May 28, 1842; 3 pages in-8 to his crowned figure. He had the arsonists of Austria added to the work of the commission for the arsonists of Hamburg, in order to "confuse these two misfortunes in the same national charity. ...] I can only thank you in the name of our common feelings for having chosen me as the organ of this thought of mutuality of assistance and life between peoples. France and Germany, whom the ambitious spirit of conquest alone could disunite, have between them the solidarity of the two powers on which rests the peace and balance of the continent. It is fortunate that there are occasions when this great community of continental patriotism can manifest itself spontaneously from people to people. Charity and unity cross the Rhine. The flooded of the South, the burned of Hamburg and [blanc] learn that they have strength beyond the limits of their nationalities. Thus slowly and instinctively the reconciliation of ideas and races simptomizes evident from their next and lasting harmony. This is true social political thought."
