BREST - A LA VEILLE de la REVOLUTION : " A la longue l'ESCLAVAGE ANEANTIT BREST...etc... ". Document XVIII°, in-4 of 8 pages, of which 7 handwritten, presented, following an introduction of 9 lines, in the form of a chronicle, covering the days from Friday, July 18, 1789, to Thursday, July 30. In addition to the announcement of the storming of the Bastille, the author, who is not identified, gives interesting details on the events in Brest. The introduction: "In the long run slavery annihilated, the city of BREST which groaned for a long time under the military authority, whose extention as odious as extravagant, did not cease to increase, would have seemed to have to delay, more than all the other cities, to leave its numbness. But by an inconceivable miracle, and one that only Mr. NECKER could perform, the word FREEDOM inflamed all hearts and in the twinkling of an eye, all chains and fetters were; I do not say broken, but pulverized. "It was in particular the perfidious disgrace of Mr. NECKER that accelerated this revolution.
