[PAMPHLET]. La Bastille. Paris, s.é., 1789. In-12 paperback, 14 pages. A good copy of this pamphlet on the Bastille and its historical "victims", published anonymously the day after July 14, 1789. The text begins as follows: "With what eagerness, Frenchmen, you cast your eyes towards this ancient edifice (...). Enter the depths of these dreadful dungeons, and see the virtuous citizens who have languished there in fetters for more than twenty years, who have done nothing but love virtue too much, and want to show it off in all its glory. (...) This monument to despotism will soon be destroyed, this fort where your tyrants, abusing their arbitrary power, locked up your relatives, your friends and your brothers." Very well preserved interior.
