CABANIS (Pierre Georges). 1757-1808. Physiologist, deputy to the Cinq-Cents, senator of the Empire. L.A.S. to citizen Jean Debry. Auteuil ce 8 floréal an 6e (27 avril 1798)1 p. in-8. Taking advantage of a consultation for a patient, Cabanis shares his thoughts on the state of France under the Directoire, and the threat of a coup d'état. "(...) Garat told me when he left that he would come back if he was appointed. As for me, I hope they will leave me to my usual work, which I have no desire to leave, especially since I have seen in the liberal assembly what is threatening France. But try not to receive into your bosom men who will make another Eighteen Fructidor necessary before three months. The circumstances in which I have found myself, the confidences I have received, have taught me more on this point than many of you know (...)." Ledoux-Lebard Collection.
