Description

4to. 1¼ pp. on bifolium. With autograph address and seal. Interesting letter to the Franco-Italian banker Jacques-Gabriel Caccia (d. 1838) in Paris, asking him to send him two French journals covering the August 1815 French legislative election, the first that followed Napoleon's Hundred Days. Munarini recounts that he received, "although with much irregularity", the "Moniteur" and the "Jounal des Debats" before "Napoleon's invasion that entailed such terrible consequences" (transl.). Apparently, no French papers reached Modena in 1815, and Munarini, who was eager to "discover the public opinion, at least so far as it can be discovered through journals", therefore asks Caccia to send him two "public papers" of his choice "without delay". He also requests that the journals do not "imitate the example of the English, some writing in favour of the minister, some against", but rather wishes for "texts by reasonable writers but of different opinion". - Marquess Giacomo Munarini served as foreign minister to Francis IV, Duke of Modena from 1814 to 1820. - Traces of folds. With a minor tear slightly affecting the text and a tear from breaking the seal. Some browning.
