Description
Autograph text accompanied by a pasted-in engraving depicting Pierre AUGEREAU, Duke of Castiglione by Couché fils, and signature added. (Wormholes in the leaf and numerous brown spots).
"The military glory of the traitor died at Eylau. His previous life, full of glory and factional spirit, was later marked only by infamy, treason and crime.
It is one of those names that a good Frenchman cannot pronounce without shuddering with horror, when the Emperor passed through Lyon on his way to the island of Elba; he had the audacity and the baseness to insult the misfortune of this great man.
the misfortune of this great man, whom he had betrayed, and to crown himself by this infamy the cream of a defection which deserved death."
