Letters to Antoine Marie Cerisier

Antoine Marie Cerisier was a French journalist, politician and historian, who played a role in the Patriot Revolution in the Dutch Republic in 1785-1787, after first having supported the cause of the American Revolution in that country in collaboration with American ambassador John Adams. Later he also played a role in the early years of the French Revolution as a collaborator of Mirabeau. In that capacity he published an extract of the Dutch Leiden Draft, a manifesto that may have influenced the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
