CHEVALIERE d'\u00c9ON: Two works and a manuscript poem brought together by Abb\u00e9 Pascal, with a paperback booklet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

INTERESTING REUNION BY THE LIBRARIAN OF THE DUC DE PENTHI\u00c8VRE, ABB\u00c9 PASCAL<\/strong> who, as on many of the works in his collection, has noted on the endpapers and in the margins extracts that help to clarify the reading: \" it should be remembered that Mr de Beaumarchais was asked to withdraw from D\u00e9on the letters of the late King with whom he was in secret correspondence at the stormiest time of his quarrel with Mr le Comte de Guerchy, and that to achieve this Mr de Beaumarchais had in his mission a letter from Cr\u00e9disbeau: a blow more considerable than the sum at which he agreed with Mlle D\u00e9on to hand over the correspondence with Louis XV - see the last line of page 57.<\/em>\"<\/p>\n

- Abb\u00e9 Pascal has copied the \"Song to the tune of La Bequille du p\u00e8re Barnabas- 1778<\/em>\"A rare, bawdy account of the questions raised by the Chevalier d'\u00c9on about gender in his day. It is also worth noting the surprisingly tolerant conclusion: Whether he's a boy or a girl \/ He's a great character \/ Whose name \/ Will live on from age to age:<\/em><\/p>\n

From Chevalier D\u00e9on
\nSex is a mystery
\nHe is said to be a boy
\nHowever, England
\nRecognises him for daughter
\nAnd claims that he didn't
\ncrutch track
\nFrom Father Barnabas<\/p>\n

He was once a boy
\nVery brave captain
\nFor a yes for a no
\nEveryone says they draw
\nwhat a misfortune if he's a girl
\nwhat he wouldn't do
\nIf he had the Crutch
\nFrom Father Barnabas<\/p>\n

There were Freemasons
\na very zealous colleague
\nLearned from their lesson
\nOf the most secret mystery
\nif he's a girl
\nno more good will receive
\nthe Bequille has not been seen
\nFrom Father Barnabas<\/p>\n

It is said that
\norders from the ministry
\nit was given the name
\nDe pleinipotentiaire
\nHa parbleu si\u0142 est fille
\neveryone will offer
\nThe famous Bequille
\nFrom Father Barnabas<\/p>\n

For his amusements
\nHe wrote twenty volumes
\nAffecting the Law of Nations
\nWhose custom he knows
\nAs a skilled lawyer
\nHe is not unaware
\nThe right to a crutch
\nFrom Father Barnabas<\/p>\n

Whether boy or girl
\nHe's a great character
\nWhose name we shall see
\nSurviving from age to age
\nBut if he is a girl
\nIt will not fail
\nFinding the Crutch
\nof Father Barnabas\".<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
