Letters: 1
Date(s): 30 Mar 1893
Location: BC Misc. Letters 2
Note: In French. A document of the Bureau du Domaine National du Department de la Seine, adjudicating in the matter of the sale of a property in Paris. There are 2 signatories: Le Courueru, about whom nothing, it seems, is known, and Guillotin, who is probably the doctor and famous Parliamentarian who gave his name to the guillotine. He became associated with it because of his campaign for a more merciful method of execution of criminals and was nearly a victim of it when he himself fell under suspicion. His judgement was in demand on many matters and he instigated some notable reforms. In his later years he worked for the improvement of medicine.
Sender: Harlay, Phillipe de
Recipient: -
Letters: 1
Date(s): [ ] 1626
Location: BC Misc. Letters 2
Note: In French. An official document signed "Phillipe de Harlay - Cécy". Harlay was ambassador to Constantinople almost continuously from 1618-1639, then ambassador in Italy for 4 years. He was famous for having married the mistress of Henry IV, who would not give her up, with the result that the marriage was dissolved. In 1610, Harlay married Marie de Béthume. The document seems to be a receipt for his year's salary as ambassador.
