Édouard, Duke of FITZ-JAMES (Versailles (78) 1776–1838), Peer of France, Deputy for HAUTE-GARONNE. An ardent Legitimist, he became, in 1814, aide-de-camp to the Count of Artois—Letter from A.S. “Duke of FITZ-JAMES” to the new Quaestor of the Chamber of Deputies. March 4 (1828). 1½ pages, in-4° – “With great wit, the Duke of Fitz-James requests a position as an usher for one of his protégés, a former servant of his wife. “... I cannot assure you that he is any less a Villélist than a Jesuit ... with admirable impartiality he will cry out: ‘Quiet there, for a moment: ‘Silence, gentlemen,’ to any member of the Chamber who might wish to disrupt order, whether from the right or the left, or even from the center-left or center-right … If you were to grant his request to an old-school ultra—as I have been labeled—it would, I dare say, set a good example for those who still cling to old labels that no longer make sense, convince themselves—and seek to convince others—that we cannot get along, even though we equally desire the glory of our Prince and the happiness of our country…”
