Writer, politician, diplomat, and historian (1768-1848) considered the founder of Romanticism in French literature. LS in French, signed “Chateaubriand,” one page, 5 x 8, March 8, 1837. In part (translated): "But now, when so many important events are taking place, who gives a thought to the Boscobel [a magazine of the arts]. Fidelity is not a virtue of this century: to keep one's word, to devote one's self to a conviction, seems foolish. I am only too happy…if my works have been of some help to you at the beginning of your life: long experience of life has proved to me that religion is the only true thing on earth." In fine condition, with some light soiling.
