DIDEROT Denis (1713-1784)
L.A.S. "Diderot", Paris 21 September 1779, to abbé GALIANI, in Naples| 1 page in-4, address with small red wax seal
Nice letter of recommendation.
[The abbé Ferdinando GALIANI (1728-1787) had been linked with Diderot during his stay in Paris as secretary of the embassy of Naples| one of the greatest economists of his time, he introduced Diderot to politics and economics. Jean-Nicolas DÉMEUNIER (1751-1814) had published in 1776 L'Esprit des usages et des coutumes des différens peuples, ou observations tirées des voyageurs et des historiens]. "Mr. and very kind abbot Mr. De Meunier, who will present you with this bill, is there, standing next to my table, in boots, with a whip in his hand, ready to leave, and determined to leave only with a word from me recommending him to you. Mr. De Meunier is a man of letters, a man of spirit, an honest man. He is the friend of your friends. He travels out of curiosity. I beg you to do him all the good offices that one of your protégés would obtain from me. I greet you. I embrace you. If you do not think sometimes of men who will never forget you, because no one will ever fill the void you have left in their society, you are the most ungrateful of the human race.
Correspondence, ed. G. Roth, t. XV, p. 153 (n° 906).
