About This Item
A famous letter from the Girondin interior minister, Jean-Marie Roland de la Platiere (1734-1793), addressed to King Louis XVI. It is an impassioned appeal for the King to cooperate with the National Assembly. The letter was drafted by Roland's wife, Jeanne-Marie Philipon Roland de la Platiere (1754-1793), known commonly as Mme Roland. Her salon in Paris was a meeting place for the Girondins, and from it she directed her husband's activities. As a result of this June 10, 1792 letter, Roland--together with most of the other Girondin ministers--was dismissed from the Cabinet (June 13) by Louis XVI. Roland's June 13 statement to the Assembly is appended to the end of this pamphlet. Mme Roland was arrested during the Jacobin insurrection in 1793, and was guillotined November 8th. Her famous last words were: "Oh Liberty, what crimes are committed in thy name!".
