Dénonciation des libelles intitulés: L’Ami du peuple par Marat, & L’Orateur du peuple par Martel, & Réflexions sur la Liberté
de la Presse.
A fragment of 2 leaves, caption title.
Jean Paul Marat, 1743-1793, a Swiss by birth, used L’Ami du Peuple as a means of spreading his extreme ideas, and used the printing press
as a hiding place when pursued. He was president of the Club des Jacobins. His assassination by Charlotte Corday took place
in 1793.
Louis Stanislas Fréron, under the pseudonym of Martel, founded l’Orateur du Peuple in 1790. He was a friend of Danton and of Desmoulins, and was
elected a député to the Convention. He died in Saint Domingue in 1802.
Michel Thomassin, director of registration in Bas-Rhin, was the author of Reflexions sur la Liberté de la Presse, issued in 1791.
