Protected shipping source Wikipedia Secret memories to serve the history of the Republic of Letters in France from 1762 to the present day The Secret Memoirs to Serve the History of the Republic of Letters in France from 1762 to the Present Day is an anonymous chronicle of the events that occurred between 1762 and 1787. This chronicle is one of the most abundant and renowned sources for the history of the second half of the 18th century. There are many curious anecdotes there. "At the center of the most heated debates for a quarter of a century, whether it was the fight against the Jesuits, the parliamentary opposition, sensational trials such as the Affair of the Queen's Necklace, or the emergence of new aesthetics: that of bourgeois drama, of Gluck's Opera, of Shakespeare's Theater, they report, almost day by day, in a committed or detached, indignant or sarcastic manner, on the ephemeral or profound movements of a public opinion in the process of being formed. It seems that Bachaumont was only a front man. It was probably his secretary Pidansat de Mairobert who wrote the first volumes published from 1777. Then, upon his death, two years later, Mouffle d'Angerville took over. The success was enormous, so much so that the latter took advantage of it to add additions to the end of each book concerning previous years, using the notes left by his predecessors. In 1830, Ravenel gave a critical and reasoned edition for the first 4 volumes. Paul Lacroix gave an abridgement in 1858. An alphabetical table of the authors and characters cited in the Secret Memoirs appeared in Brussels in 1866. It is an essential tool for finding one's way through the entire work. A new critical edition is in progress[1].
