Notes: Anonymous play first published in 1806.

The aim of the book is to present this rare text to a wider public, accompanied by an introductory commentary outlining the background, as well as the political attitudes adopted by the author and the situation in France in the early 1800s, which probably made it hard for the play ever to get produced or the text to be made widely available.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 107-109).
