BÉRANGER (Pierre-Jean de) Famous Chansonnier,... Lot 453

BÉRANGER (Pierre-Jean de) Famous Chansonnier, known for his patriotic and political songs (Paris 1780-1857) - Lettre A. S. of January 31, 1830 - 2pp in-4° - addressed to M. MATHIEU Editor of the Observateur in MONS (adres. + M.P. + Wax seal) - He thanks for sending the poems. "I read all the pieces in this volume with real pleasure. Several announce a talent, several others recognize it... It is fortunate, Monsieur, for us French to see beyond what we must now call a frontier, it is fortunate, I say, to see our language cultivated with such success. It must give us hope that the Dutch language will not soon be able to banish it from the memory of men who have been our fellow citizens for so long..." (some fraying)
