AZAÏS (Pierre Hyacinthe). - Lot 42
AZAÏS (Pierre Hyacinthe). Born in Sorèze. 1766-1845. Philosopher. L.A.S. "Azaïs" addressed to "A Monsieur Boutard, homme de lettres". [Paris], June 26 s.d. 2 pages 1/3 in-8. Small loss of paper due to the opening of the seal, which does not hinder reading. He wishes to remind her ...of the desire I expressed to see you again in my garden; [...] as compensation for the distressing grief I received from Mr. Becquet's article; so much work, unity, reason, judged so lightly!... [...] men of honor and sense, men like you, Monsieur, will compensate me, will lead me to my destiny, but with the help of time... As the father of a family, it is ...excusable to wish that inconsideration would not stifle justice any longer - here it is set back; it is a misfortune; it is necessary in my fate as in that of all men... His dual philosophical and physical system, famous in the early 19th century, claimed to explain all the vicissitudes of human destiny by the law of compensation, and all the phenomena of nature and the world by the law of equilibrium.
