milestones, proof - of the \"la ville radieuse\"......' ). a rare manuscript of excellent content. a few minor tears and light creasing to the edges of some pages and the final page with a small area of paper loss to the lower left corner. g  \n ville radieuse (the radiant city) was an unrealised urban design project designed by le corbusier in 1930. it constitutes one of the most influential and controversial urban design doctrines of european modernism.  \n  le corbusier's essay  un homme chez lui was published in les plans de paris 1956-1922 in 1956."},"estimateMax":4000,"lotNumber":"1239","title":{"es":"le corbusier: (1887-1965) 'i place as the cornerstone of all modern urban development the sacred respect for individual freedom'"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/46077/lot/133883/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":3000,"soldPrice":3000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:39:12.934Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac3,000 -

path of wisdom and knowledge, and informs pinder of the progress at the domgymnasium in naumburg, in part, ´denn wie lange sind wir schon getrennt und haben uns nicht gesehen! wie ich gehort habe, befindest du dich mit deiner lieben mamma recht wohl. es wird dir gewiss sehr dort gefallen und oft wunschte ich, bei dir zu sein. ich freue mich schon darauf, wenn du mir alles recht genau erzahlen

habe ich an hr dr silber abgeben. er lobte desshalb dich vor der ganzen klasse sehr. die mundliche privatarbeit ist bis jetzt noch nicht darangekommen, auch den hannibal haben wir nicht abgeben mussen. den dion habe ich nun vollendet und fange den chabrias an. im alcibiades sind wir bis zu den 7ten cap[itel] gekommen. uberhaupt haben wir jetzt immer genug zu thun, und ich kann keine zeit auf

very much and i have often wished to be with you. i'm already looking forward to you telling me everything in detail. i have now lived alone again for some time while mother and elisabeth were in eilenburg. i often thought of you there and missed you very much. i gave your work to dr silber. he praised you highly in front of the whole class. the oral private work has not yet been handed in, nor have we had to hand in the hannibal. i have now finished the dion and am starting on the chabrias. in alcibiades we have got as far as the 7th chapter. we always have enough to do now, and i can't spend any time on our plans. you will certainly prefer to stay out in the open. just come back safe and sound, then we will have a lot to tell each other, but for now let us remember each other and keep each other dear´ ). in a postscript,  signed a second time , fr. wilhem nietzsche , the young nietzsche conveys his mother´s warmest wishes to pinder and their mother, and remarks ´ich freue mich herzlich ihrer ruckkehr´ (translation: ´i am very much looking forward to your return´ ). with autograph address panel to the verso and with the two parts of the small paper seal intact. autographs of nietzsche are extremely rare in any form, and the present letter represents a fine example from the formative years of his education which would augur well for the future life of this exceptional philosopher. a couple of very small, minimal neat splits at the edges, strengthened with contemporary clear tape to the verso, and not visible to the recto. vg \n nietzsche´s father, a lutheran pastor, had died in july 1849 when friedrich was just four years old and tragedy would strike the family again only six months later, in january 1850, when friedrich´s younger brother, ludwig joseph, died at age two. following these losses nietzsche and his family moved to naumburg in 1849, from where the present letter was written. the two most important female figures in nietzsche´s early life, his mother and sister, elisabeth, are both mentioned in the letter.  \n nietzsche attended a boys´ school and a private school, where he was to meet wilhelm pinder, who would become one of his closest friends. in 1854 nietzsche enrolled in the domgymnasium where he developed a keen interest in literature and philosophy, graduating in 1864. nietzsche and pinder´s friendship grew out of their shared passion for literature and poetry. they wrote three plays together, and nietzsche dedicated a poem to pinder, while in 1860, together with gustav krug (pinder's cousin), they founded a literary and musical society called germania.  \n nietzsche makes reference to carl silber, his teacher at the domgymnasium, whom he admired dearly and who introduced him to latin and greek. the ancient stories mentioned here as school reading, about hannibal, dion, chabrias and alcibiades, can perhaps be found in xenophon's hellenics, or, more likely, in cornelius's lives of the great captains.  \n the present letter is chronologically the fifteenth in the vast nietzschean correspondence published by gallimard."},"estimateMax":20000,"lotNumber":"1265","title":{"es":"nietzsche friedrich: (1844-1900)

of france, napoleon iii, seized complete power in 1851, establishing an anti-parliamentary constitution, thus allowing him to become emperor of the french (1852-70), hugo openly decalred louis napoleon to be a traitor to france. the novelist moved first to brussels and then to jersey (from where he would be expelled after a few years for supporting a jersey newspaper that had critcised queen victoria). during his exile hugo published his famous political pamphlets against napoleon iii, including napoleon le petit (1852). the pamphlets were banned in france but nonetheless had a strong impact within the country, despite the best efforts of the police and authorities to prevent them entering the country, as demonstrated by the second of paulze d´ivoy´s letters.  \n the hungarian nobleman and freedom fighter lajos kossuth (1802-1894), who served as governor-president of hungary in 1849, had been forced into exile during the revolutionary tide which swept across europe in 1849 and, alongside his family and fifty loyal followers, made his way to england. making the journey by boat, kossuth arrived at marseille and sought permission to travel through france to england. however prince-president louis napoleon denied the request and the french authorities refused to allow the dangerous revolutionary to come ashore. as a result kossuth publicly protested. many

percy bysshe: (1792-1822) british writer, one of the major english romantic poets. an exceptional a.l.s., with his initials p. b. s. , three pages, 4to, pisa, 20th july 1820, to his cousin thomas medwin ( ´my dear medwin´ ). shelley writes an interesting letter, including references to two of his masterpieces, stating that he has received medwin´s letter from the mountains, and remarking ´how much i envy you, or rather, how much i sympathise in the delights of your wandering. i have a passion for such expeditions, although, partly the capriciousness of my health & partly the want of the incitement of a companion, keep me at home. i see the mountains, the sky & the trees from my windows & recollect, as an old man does the mistresses of his youth, the raptures of a more familiar intercourse; but without his regrets, for their forms are yet living in my mind´ , adding that he hopes his cousin will not pass by tuscany without paying a visit ( ´mrs. shelley unites with me in assuring......that whatever else may be found deficient, a sincere welcome is at least in waiting for you´ ). shelley proceeds to write at length regarding two of his verse dramas, ´i am delighted with your approbation of my \u2018cenci\u2019, & am encouraged to wish to present you with my \u2018prometheus unbound\u2019, a drama also, but a composition of a totally different character. i do not know if it be wise to affect variety in compositions or whether the attempt to excel in many ways does not deter from excellence in one particular kind. \u2018prometheus unbound\u2019 is in the merest spirit of ideal poetry & not, as the name would indicate, a mere imitation of the greek drama, or indeed, if i have been successful, is it an imitation of anything. but you will judge - i hear it is just printed & i probably shall receive copies from england before i see you. your objection to the \u2018cenci\u2019 as to the introduction of the name of god is good, in as much as the play is addressed to a protestant people; but we catholics speak eternally & familiarly of the 1st person of the trinity; and amongst us religion is more interwoven with, and is less extraneous to, the system of ordinary life. as to cenci´s curse, i know not whether i can defend it or no. i wish i may be able, since, as it often happens respecting the worst point of an author´s work, it is a particular favourite with me. i prided myself as since your approbation i hope that i had just cause to do upon the two concluding lines of the play. i confess i cannot approve of the squeamishness which excludes the exhibition of such subjects from the scene´ (at this point of the letter two-and-a-half lines of text have been struck through, seemingly by shelley himself). the poet asks ´what think you of my boldness?´ and reflects on a future project, a drama which would remain unfinished at his death, ´i mean to write a play, in the spirit of human nature, without prejudice or passion, entitled \u2018charles the 1st\u2019. so vanity intoxicates people; but let those few who praise my verses & in whose approbation i take so much delight, answer for this sin´ further making reference to contemporary events involving the british monarchy, ´ i  wonder what in the world the queen has done. i should not wonder, after the whispers i have heard, to find that the green bag contained evidence that she had imitated pasiphae, & that the committee should recommend to parliament a bill to exclude all minotaurs from the succession. what silly stuff is this to employ a great nation about. i wish the king & the queen, like punch & his wife, would fight out their disputes in person´ , before closing his letter with the lines ´this warm weather agrees excellently with me; i only wish it would last all the year. many things both to say & to hear, be referred until we meet´ . with integral address panel in shelley´s hand (a couple of thin, neat strips of the remains of the guard to the edges and centre). autograph letters of shelley are extremely rare as a result of his tragic death at the young age of 29, and the present example is particularly rich in its literary content. some very light, extremely minor age wear, vg \n thomas medwin (1788-1869) english writer, poet and translator, remembered for his biography of shelley and for published recollections of his friend, lord byron.  \n the cenci. a tragedy, in five acts (1820) was written by shelley in the summer of 1819, and inspired by the house of cenci, a real roman family. the play was not considered stageable in its day owing to the themes of incest and parricide, as well as the negative depiction of the roman catholic church (all subjects shelley reflects on in the present letter), and was not performed in public in england until over a century later, in 1922.  \n prometheus unbound (1820) is a four-act lyrical drama which is concerned with the torments of the greek mythological figure prometheus, who defies the gods and gives fire to humanity, for which he is subjected to eternal punishment and suffering at the hands of zeus. the play is a closet drama, not intended for stage production. in the tradition of romantic poetry, shelley wrote for the imagination, intending his play's stage to reside in the imaginations of his readers. filled with suspense, mystery, and other dramatic effects, w. b. yeats famously described the work as being ´among the sacred books of the world´.  \n the deleted passage of the present letter, according to the published version in volume iv of the prose works of percy bysshe shelley ,  originally read ´a squeamishness the produce, as i firmly believe, of a lower tone of the public mind, and foreign to the majestic and confident wisdom of the golden age of our country´.  \n one of the final parts of shelley´s letter makes reference to the events of 1820 whereby king george iv, who had recently succeeded to the throne, attempted to divorce his long-estranged wife. caroline of brunswick. in order to secure his divorce, the king had a special bill moved in the house of lords and the evidence of the queen´s adultery was presented to parliament in two green bags. ultimately the measure was withdrawn by the government and caroline remained married to the king until her death a year later."},"estimateMax":50000,"lotNumber":"1370","title":{"es":"shelley percy bysshe: (1792-1822) ´ so vanity intoxicates people; but let those few who praise my verses & in whose approbation i take so

george bernard: (1856-1950) irish playwright, nobel prize winner for literature, 1925. an interesting typewritten manuscript signed (twice, 'by bernard shaw' beneath the title, and again with his initials g.b.s. at the conclusion), nine pages (typed to the rectos only), 4to, n.p., 27th january 1923. the manuscript, with extensive revisions and corrections in shaw's hand (indicated in bold text below) is entitled the unprotected child and the law , and states, in part, 'it is a curious feature of british civilization that our police arrangements, though they enable the adult male citizen to go about unarmed and the adult female to walk abroad unescorted, fail to protect children from the most detestable forms of molestation. the woman who goes shopping with a sense of complete security, and never has a moment's anxiety as to the return of her husband from his work unrobbed and unbruised, cannot feel that her children, even at the smallest age compatible with independent locomotion, are safe in broad daylight in a london park, much less in the camera obscura of the picture theatre......when she realizes too late that the law, professing to deter the criminal, is really calculated to deter the prosecutor, she is some times moved to suspect that this effect is not wholly unintended . there is something more than mother ly indignation to support that suspicion . the few publicly articulate people who concern themselves about the matter, and who form the so-called public opinion that finds expression on the bench, seem to fall into two extremes with no middle. either they are psychopathically excited by psychopathic outrages and frantically demand that the offenders be flogged or emasculated, or they regard the offence as an amiable weakness, and the notion that its consequences to the victim are necessarily serious as sentimental nonsense. they shew their reluctance to punish it by very light sentences, and by a resolute opposition to the raising of the age at which the consent (and by inference the enjoyment) of the child can be placed in defence. thus between the flagellomaniacs who are making the offender's vice an excuse for gratifying their own peculiar form of it on the one hand, and the sympathetic amorists on the other, the children have to thank their luck rather than the law when they escape molestation. the matter is further complicated by men's dread of false charges, blackmail, and conspiracies between mother and child to 'put away' an inconvenient father.......sir basil thompson......humorously suggests that all girls should be locked up until they are eighteen to save the police the trouble of investigating the stories they invent.....in fact the younger the child the more unrestrained the imaginative liar. further differences between child and child in precocity are so inclaculable that we have oscar wilde giving sixteen as the age at which conscience of sex begins, and rousseau, in his autobiography, giving the date in his own case at his birth: the net conclusion being that in the case of any individual child it is impossible either to accept any story on the ground that the teller is too young to have invented it, or to reject it as too grotesque to be credible......in view of these facts, it is impossible to exempt a child from the most searching cross examination when criminal proceedings are taken; yet from every point of view other than that of establishing or refuting a charge, cross examination is as undesirable as its necessarily bad effect on the child can make it. in short, the remedy offered by the criminal law may easily be worse than no remedy at all. it rubs violently into the child's mind an impression that had much better be obliterated, or, as that is hardly possible, minimized.......the danger to children is at its gravest when popular ignorance and superstition on matters of sex are left undispelled because of the taboo which forbids their being mentioned. take for example the case of venereal disease. few people realize that children are in special danger of being infected by it: they regard them as specially exempt from it because of their innocence. they do not know that there is a belief, widespread in our most ignorant classes, that a man suffering from such a disease can be cured by intercourse with a virgin; and that consequently , as childhood is the surest guarantee of virginity. childern are violated as a therapeutical measure, the only result. of course, being that the child is infected too......as far as i know, there is only one attempt being made to provide, by private subscription, a hospital for innocently infected children to which any sane mother would consent to send her child. that staggering fact illustrates the sort of consideration children get from our public authorities and the public conscience behind them......when we come to the remedies, we are forced to admit that what cannot be prevented cannot be remedied. some of the preventive remedies are obvious enough. wherever you have overcrowding and overwork both of children and adults, you get a high rate of incest with children as certainly as a high rate of zymotic disease. people who have bedrooms all to themselves as a matter of course, and who have plenty of sport and music and reading and pictures to divert them, cannot conceive a life in which young girls boast of being the mothers of their fathers' children; but this is an established modern industrial phenomenon; and the comfortable people may as well know that it exists and is part of the price of their comfort...... if the question of how much population the country can bear is ever faced as it should be , the first point to be settled will be not one of heads per acre divided into wheat per acre, but of space available for separate bedrooms (not to say bathrooms) per head. when incest and promiscuity have been cut off at their source in poverty and drudgery, there will still be an irreduc ible minimum of criminal assault for which society at large is not responsible. for the decent and as far as possible harmless investigation of such cases we need special courts, women police, women jurors, judges, magistrates, advocates and doctors alongside the male ones, with none of them in any uniform recognizable by a child as a police uniform.....the publication of the child's name, or of portraits of it, should be made a serious offence; and the publication of the name of the accused person unless and until convicted should also be prohibited. there are many things shamelessly featured in our newspapers which are forbidden by french law and should be forbidden in every decent country. i must add that the advocates of complete license for the press have one argument which cannot be ignored .......as to punishments, when they are simply vindictive they are also simply wicked; and their effect on the imagination increases crime......deterrent punishments do not deter unless they are certain; and nothing can make exposure, prosecution, and conviction certain in cases of this sort. cases vary extremely in gravity from those in which , extraordinary as it may seem, an adult is practically hypnotized and seduced by a child to those of pests who spend their lives pursuing and molesting children and young persons. it would be no harm to suggest those human nuisances that as the community can not afford to detach adults from productive industry merely to shadow them (which would seem to be the only adequate safeguard) it must regretfully dispense of them with due apologies , in a lethal chamber.......it goes without saying that if a cure for the propensity be possible, it should be employed. disablement of the offender is often suggested nowadays. the objection is that it is abominable, dishonorable, 'not surgical' in the opinion of the best surgeons by whom i have heard it discussed, and not a cure, as some of the people accused of the less serious forms of assault are already incapable of the more serious ones. it will be seen from these few notes that the question is difficult practically and complicated psychologically. both the opposition to legal protection and the advocacy of it are carried to rabid lengths by people who see either a prowling pest in every elderly gentleman who smiles at a child in the park or a prurient mrs pardiggie in every policewoman or welfare worker. both must be bundled out of any sane discussion of the matter; but this is difficult as long as they are practically the only people who will concern themselves with the matter at all' . professionally bound by james brockman of brockman bookbinders in oxford, england, in dark green quarter morocco and marbled paper over boards and

d´instruction publique, ou d´autoriser les membres qui composaient la cidevant academie a se former en societe libre pour qu´ils ont entame, notamment de ceux dont ils ont ete charges par la convention, en leur conservant les attributions qui leur avoient ete affectees pour la suite de ces travaux par le decret de 20 aout 1790. si le comite d´instruction publique n´obtient point une decision prompte de la convention sur ces differents objets, l´operation des poids et mesures sera entierement suspendue; j´envoye au citoyen lakanal copie de cette lettre dont il est necessaire qu´il ait connaissance´ (translation: ´we have since been informed that the public education committee has chosen you and the c. fourcroi in execution of the same decree, to take part in this work......it is also necessary that we know if the commissioners who have been in charge of astronomical and geodetic operations in spain and france, if those who must measure the base, if those who are in charge of comparing the measures in use in the departments and districts of the french republic, have the right to do so..........the instruction that the academy has been asked to draw up on the use of the new measures and on decimal arithmetic offers yet another difficulty, because the commissioners who are to be responsible for this matter have not yet been appointed. i must also point out to you, representative citizen, that i am the custodian of platinum bars intended to measure the bases of their mounts for the metal thermometers which must accompany them, of several weight standards, and of a considerable quantity of raw platinum intended to make standards........in a letter that i sent yesterday to the comité d'instruction publique, i indicated the only two means that seem practicable to me to get out of such a great embarrassment, either to exempt the academy of sciences from the suppression pronounced by the decree of the convention, as the comité d'instruction publique had proposed or to authorise the members who made up the former academy to form themselves into a free society so that they could begin, in particular, the work for which they had been made responsible by the convention, retaining for them the attributions which had been assigned to them for the continuation of this work by the decree of 20th august 1790. if the comité d'instruction publique does not obtain a prompt decision from the convention on these various matters, the operation of weights and measures will be entirely suspended; i am sending citizen lakanal a copy of this letter, of which he must be aware ´). in a postscript lavoisier further states ´je joins à la présente une copie de la lettre (encore présente) que j´ecris au citoyen delambre, j´ai cru remplir les intentions du comite d´instruction publique en le tranquilisant et en l´encourageant . j´ecrirai dans cet esprit au c. mechain. je fais pour le mieux dans les circonstances embarassantes ou je me trouve, j´espere que je ne serai pas desaprouve par le comite´ (translation: ´i enclose herewith a copy of the letter (still present) which i wrote to citizen delambre. i thought i was fulfilling the intentions of the comité d'instruction publique by calming and encouraging him. i will write in this spirit to the c. mechain. i am doing my best in the embarrassing circumstances in which i find myself, and i hope that i will not be disapproved by the committee´ ). letters signed by lavoisier are rare as a result of his execution by guillotine at the height of the french revolution, at the untimely age of 50 (having been charged with tax fraud and selling adulterated tobacco), and the presnt example has fine content, not least for its references to a number of important contemporary chemists, astronomers,

of mont blanc]: a fascinating, lengthy a.l.s. by dr. edmund clark, closely written over four pages, 4to, chamonix, 27th august 1835, to reverend robert warrener. clark writes in the midst of his grand tour and provides a detailed account of his successful ascent of mont blanc, penned in the immediate aftermath of his remarkable feat, beginning by explaining ´i have postponed my letter in hope of meeting with something of greater interest to write about, nor perhaps should i have now commenced had i not lately succeeded in an excursion of some difficulty, an account of which may help to fill my sheet. yesterday at 3pm i reached the summit of mont blanc, the greatest elevation in europe with captain sherwill a young english officer. this forms the 12th successful ascent of mont blanc, of which 6 have been accomplished by english insects´ and continuing to offer an insight into the many places in italy and switzerland he had visited before the ascent, ´having seen the lions at paris, whisked off to salute the bears at berne. spent a halfpenny in feeding the big brown bear with ginger bread-nuts making him stand up & catch the projected fragments in their descent towards his monstrous gaping mouth´, mentioning a famous belle in brienz regarded as the prettiest woman in switzerland ( ´the say [she] has got a lout of a fellow for a husband that thrashes her, the scoundrel´ ), and the chillon castle ( ´saw byron´s name cut by himself in the dreadful dungeon ´), as well as stops at milan (where clark viewed a picture by leonardo da vinci), verona, padua, venice ( ´fine gondola lounges, the most luxurious sort of locomotion under the sun´ ) as well as florence where they ´doffed our hats to the venus de´medici´ and also saw statues by michelangelo, and rome, writing ´florence is a positively enchanting residence.....such i was in the good pope´s dominions, a german baron & swedish countess joined us [for] breakfast at the port before rome.....in 3 hours we were at the gates of rome. i entered it on foot & bare headed as is duty bound. modern rome is a dismal affair, but the old ruins! ´, before travelling to naples ( ´through the horrid dens of cut-throats ´) and to pompeii, ´the most interesting of all objects in italy. scrambled up to the lofty top of vesuvius. such a view over the isles of capri´ . clark then offers an extensive report of his mountaineering exploits, ´...up the brevent about 17,000 feet. then a formidable day´s work up the buel (?) a height of more than 10,000 feet. here poor mr. eschen sunk into a chasm.....next morning he was found frozen to death......we looked down upon this fatal spot. i accompanied dr. benjamin babington from india. it was one of the noblest views i ever saw. we were surrounded with a forest of snowy alpine peaks. next to mt. blanc it is the highest accessible mountain in this part of the chain. thursday aug 25 with seven guides started for the top of the mountain king. it is two years since the last ascent & 5 since 3 guides were killed in an unsuccessful attempt. ascended to the base of the aiguille du midi to breakfast then left terra firma & embarked on the dreary ocean of ice & snow. the ice is cut & creviced in such a manner that we had often half an hour´s work to advance 40 yards climbing up walls of ice by holes cut with a hatchet, or taking hold of the end of an ice pole to scramble up. we were fastened together with cords. in many places we walked over a thin slippery ledge with a deep blue chasm of 200 to 300 feet on each side.......we marched on the ice that day 7 hours & then arrived at an islet of bare rocks that rise up in the midst of the snows & are called les grands mulets. here we were dragged up a high precipice with the help of ropes & so reached the comfortable hotel. this hotel is a platform as big as an ironing table covered with snow. the snow we scraped away in some degree & then turned up the dry side of the stones (such is the unhappy tendency of man to luxurious indulgence). lighted a fire. manufactured some punch......then stretched ourselves to sleep covered with a blanket & a sheet at a height much greater than the top of skiddaw or ben nevis, and the thermometer at freezing. it was a lovely moon light night. no sound of insect or of bird, nothing but the awful roar of avalanches around & beneath us. 26th of august friday, all dressed at 4 o´clock......then again embarked on the snows.......stopped by a long crevice. crossed it upon a bridge formed of 5 ice poles placed from edge to edge. felt rather as if snuffing the candle with one´s finger. then climbed up the opposite side by cutting holes with the axe. after this comfortable trudging in the snow but rather deep till the petit plateau, a place of snow covered with an avalanche. crossed it & arrived at the grand plain. height about 13,000 feet. heat of the sun burning and blistering to the eyes & face......began to feel the effect of rarity of the air - headache, no appetite.......arrived at the spot where the 3 brave guides perished in an avalanche while trying to ascend with a russian physician & statesman in 1820. their bodies have never been found. the crevice into which they were buried by the avalanche is still somewhat visible. two of the 7 guides with us were nearly killed in that dreadful catastrophe. now began to ascend the steep icy wall of the summit. we were nearly 4 hours in ascending one vast slope being obliged to cut a passage with the axe very often. here one slip wd. have been serious. you wd. probably have glided down the frozen inclined plain with immense velocity.......we now became very cold, our shoes.....as hard as iron, our faces pale & shrunk. respiration uneasy, intense headache. my friend had great nausea also. at last we reached the petit mulets. the loftiest rocks in the line of ascent. from this a steep hard plain of snow leads directly to the summit. we lay down on the snow, panted & puffed away, again for 10 yards, then lay down again; eat a little snow; up again (the guides too were already exhausted) how many more starts to the top? three said the brave guides......and in two desperate efforts we were on the pinnacle of europe. my friend arrived a moment or two after & such was his exhaustion that the moment his guide called out nous voici sur le sommet de mt. blanc he burst into a flood of tears. we were both utterly worn out with fatigue, rarity of air. cold & inability to eat. the thermometer was below freezing even in the sun......the sky deep indigo approaching to violet. the view immense......all in a vast panorama laid at our feet. in the highest rock i placed olive twigs brought from italy for the purpose.....all these are enclosed in a strong cylinder of glass.......& placed in......the rocks so securely that when the storms of a thousand years are gone by & our dust is mixed with kindred earth, still i think it possible that the little record may remain unhurt. we descended hastily slept on the grands mulets on our delicious bed of rocks & today rejoined the valley. no one seriously hurt. i had one foot a little frozen......we are all full of gaiety for it is not too often that an ascent is at once so successful & so pleasant. it is my intention to write a small pamphlet on the ascent & to send you a copy´ . with address panel to the final

aimez-moi assez pour croire que telle force que soit la vôtre la mienne peut presque l\u2019égaler. vous concevez le désespoir de l\u2019impératrice. j\u2019ai eu à gémir des souffrances que je lui ai vu éprouver, je ne l\u2019ai pas quittée un moment. actuellement elle est beaucoup plus calme, elle a reçu une lettre du roi [louis bonaparte] qui en lui annonçant le mieux sensible de la reine [hortense de beauharnais] l\u2019engage fort à vouloir bien venir jusqu\u2019à laeken et à écrire de cette résidence à sa fille afin de la décider à venir la joindre. jusqu\u2019à présent il n\u2019a pas pu la décider à ce voyage qu\u2019il regarde comme nécessaire absolument à sa santé et il ajoute qu\u2019il n\u2019y a que dans les bras de sa mère qu\u2019elle peut trouver de la consolation et tout son désir est de l\u2019y amener ; mais la reine dans son désespoir avait tout rejeté. l\u2019impératrice a accueilli cette idée avec empressement. elle a même adouci beaucoup sa douleur car si elle n\u2019eût qu\u2019à consulter son cœur elle serait partie immédiatement pour la haye ; mais ne sachant pas les volontés de l\u2019empereur [napoléon ier] elle a été obligée d\u2019y renoncer. elle [l\u2019impératrice joséphine] vient de partir à l\u2019instant. ma lettre avait été interrompue je viens la reprendre. j\u2019avais espéré être de ce voyage, il me semble que personne n\u2019avait plus de droit que moi d\u2019y accompagner l\u2019impératrice. je lui en avais témoigné le vœu. croyez encore mon cher cousin, que malgré mes larmes de m\u2019avoir refusée je n\u2019ai pas même pu obtenir d\u2019y aller de mon côté ; mais je respecte trop les volontés de l\u2019impératrice pour me révolter et ne pas me résigner mais cependant je souffre bien et c\u2019est une peine bien vive que j\u2019ai ressentie. l\u2019impératrice y a mis beaucoup de bonté il est vrai et a paru fort touchée de mon chagrin mais elle va sans suite et sous le nom de mme de la rochefoucauld qui l\u2019accompagne. il parait qu\u2019il n\u2019y a point de logement à laeken et qu\u2019aussitôt la reine arrivée l\u2019impératrice la ramène aussitôt. voilà ce qu\u2019elle a bien voulu me dire pour me consoler mais je ne me sens pourtant pas consolée. les seules personnes du voyage sont mme la rochefoucauld, le général [michel] ordener et mr tuinat. l\u2019impératrice a, je suis sûre, pensé que si j\u2019y allais chacun voudrait venir et j\u2019ai pensé pour les autres ce n\u2019est pas la première fois que j\u2019ai donné l\u2019exemple de la résignation et que l\u2019impératrice m\u2019en a loué en m\u2019encourageant mais ici je ne vous parle que de moi et je vous vois trop douloureusement affecté pour songer à vous occuper des choses si peu importantes ; c\u2019est précisément parce qu\u2019elles ont le même motif que ce qui cause notre peine que je n\u2019ai pu m\u2019empêcher de m\u2019y arrêter. j\u2019ai reçu une réponse charmante de madame la pce augusta [augusta-amélie de bavière, épouse de eugène de beauharnais] . veuillez mon cher cousin lui offrir l\u2019hommage de mon bien tendre attachement. j\u2019espère que vous êtes toujours content de sa santé ainsi que celle de la petite princesse [eugène de beauharnais et augusta-amélie de bavière venait d\u2019avoir une petite fille, joséphine maximilienne eugénie napoléone de leuchtenberg, née le 14 mars 1807] . j\u2019ai reçu les chapeaux que vous avez bien voulu m\u2019envoyer et je vous en remercie. je fais partir en même temps que ma lettre une petite boite contenant les objets en cheveux. j\u2019ai été peut-être un peu longtemps à vous les envoyer mais on me les a fait attendre et ne les ayant eus qu\u2019au moment de partir pour st cloud je n\u2019ai pas voulu les envoyer sans ma lettre. des cheveux de la pcesse augusta on a fait le cordon de montre. on y a suspendu une clef du même travail et un petit flacon qui est arrangé pour qu\u2019on puisse y ajouter un cachet au bas. quant au collier on a tiré tout le parti possible des cheveux que vous avez envoyés. ils étaient très courts et pas en grande quantité. cependant comme on a fait cette chaine élastique j\u2019espère qu\u2019elle se trouvera assez longue. le travail en est assez joli. de quelques-uns des cheveux qui restaient encore des vôtres on a fait une petite croix émaillée ; c\u2019est fort la mode ici. on peut la suspendre à un autre collier soit chaine en or ou autrement´ (translation: ´we have been so distraught and disheartened by the loss of my poor cousin that i have not been able to think of anything for myself since the fatal moment. i had intended to write to you, but i would have been too unhappy if you had been informed only by me of this dreadful news, now that it must have reached you and i am no longer worried about the empress's [joséphine's] health. i have come to add my sorrow to that which i feel you must be experiencing so keenly. this affliction is common to us all; love me enough to believe that however strong yours is, mine can almost match it. you can imagine the empress's despair. i have had to moan about the suffering i have seen her go through, and i have not left her side for a moment. at the moment she is much calmer, she has received a letter from the king [louis bonaparte] who, in telling her that the queen [hortense de beauharnais] is feeling better, urges her to come as far as laeken and to write to her daughter from there to persuade her to come and join her. until now he has not been able to persuade her to make this journey, which he considers absolutely necessary for her health, and he adds that she can only find consolation in her mother's arms, and his whole desire is to take her there; but the queen in her despair had rejected everything. the empress welcomed this idea with alacrity. she even eased her pain a great deal because if she had only consulted her heart she would have left immediately for the hague; but not knowing the wishes of the emperor [napoleon i] she was obliged to give it up. she [empress joséphine] has just left. my letter was interrupted and i have just resumed it. i had hoped to be on this trip, and it seems to me that no one had more right than i to accompany the empress. i had expressed my wish to her. believe me again, my dear cousin, that despite my tears at being refused i was not even able to get myself to go; but i respect the empress's wishes too much not to rebel and resign myself, but nevertheless i am suffering a great deal and it is a very deep sorrow that i have felt. the empress was very kind, it is true, and seemed very touched by my grief, but she went without further ado and under the name of mme de la rochefoucauld, who accompanied her. it seems that there is no accommodation at laeken and that as soon as the queen arrives the empress will bring her back straight away. that's what she was kind enough to tell me to console me, but i don't feel consoled. the only people on the trip are mme la rochefoucauld, general [michel] ordener and mr tuinat. the empress, i am sure, thought that if i went everyone would want to come and i thought for the others it is not the first time that i have given the example of resignation and that the empress praised me for it by encouraging me but here i am only talking to you about myself and i see you too painfully affected to think of occupying yourself with such unimportant things; it is precisely because they have the same reason as what is causing our pain that i couldn't help thinking about them. i have received a charming reply from madame la pce augusta [augusta-amélie de bavière, wife of eugène de beauharnais] . please offer her, my dear cousin, the homage of my very tender attachment. i hope you are still happy with her health and that of the little princess [eugène de beauharnais and augusta-amélie de bavière had just had a little girl, joséphine maximilienne eugénie napoléone de leuchtenberg, born on 14 march 1807] . i have received the hats you kindly sent me and i thank you for them. i am sending a small box containing the hair items at the same time as my letter. it may have taken me a little while to send them to you, but they were kept waiting for me and as i did not receive them until i was about to leave for st cloud, i did not want to send them without my letter. the watch-string was made from the hair of princess augusta. we hung a key of the same work and a small bottle which is arranged so that we can add a seal at the bottom. as for the necklace, we made the most of the hair you sent us. it was very short and not in great quantity. however, as we made this chain elastic i hope it will be long enough. the work is quite pretty. we made a little enamelled cross from some of the hair that was still left over from yours;
