Armand-Marc, Comte de Montmorin, 1746-1792, French statesman and diplomat. Several editions of the pamphlet were published in 1791. Montmorin had much correspondence
with Jefferson, who wrote of him to Madison, in a letter from Paris on June 20, 1787: “
. . . so far too
I am pleased
with
Montmorin
.
His
honesty proceeds from
the heart
as well as
the head
, and therefore may be more surely
counted on
. . .”
Jefferson’s letterpress copy of this letter in the Jefferson Papers in the Library of Congress is partly in code--underscored in this transcript. Montmorin
was appointed minister of foreign affairs in 1787. In 1792 he was arrested as a member of the Comité autrichien, and perished
in the September massacre at the Abbaye prison.

Begins:
Quels sont ces membres palpitans et épars, ces lambeaux déchirés et sanglans, que des domestiques en pleurs recueillent et
dérobent à la fureur des assassins? . . .
Est-ce un scélérat pour qui on a dû inventer un supplice encore inoui?
WASHINGTON! mânes de FRANKLIN! c’est votre protégé, votre élève, votre ami! . . .
Remparts de Redbank, champs de Brandywine, de Germantown, de Montmouth, c’est le héros que vous avez vu se couvrir de tant
de gloire! . . . Amérique septentrionale, c’est un des plus fermes défenseurs de votre liberté! . . .
Thomas Antoine, Chevalier de Mauduit-Duplessis, French officer, came to America to fight against the English in the Revolutionary war. In recognition of his services he
was appointed Colonel of the regiment at Port-au-Prince, and in 1791 was slaughtered by his own grenadiers.
