Description
Charles MAURRAS (1868–1952). Signed autograph manuscript, *La Politique*, [August 1942]; 20 pages, small quarto, on school exercise book paper. Manuscript with deletions and corrections of a three-part article, published in *L’Action Française* on 10 August 1942 (the newspaper is enclosed); it contains some variations from the printed text. I The primacy of the army. Maurras accuses the socialists of having neglected the army, just as it had been neglected by demagogues and even moderates: ‘little Thiers was afraid of the soldiers’; the Dreyfus affair destabilised it. It must become the moral guide of the Nation: ‘This primacy of the army would correspond, in the realm of practical life, to the primacy of patriotism in the realm of sentiment’”… II. Statements on capital and property. Reflections on property, labour and capital, within the framework of the ‘National Revolution’, castigating ‘the worst agents of anonymous and vagabond wealth, Jews and non-Jews, whether or not they have cloaked themselves in books, Gaullists or Communists, more or less in disguise, to stir up the chaos of anarchy’… III. 10 August, celebrating the anniversary and glorifying the heroic defence by the Swiss Guards during the attack of 10 August 1792 against Louis XVI.
