A collection of 47 titles, including newspapers and periodicals, works by Nicolas de Bonneville, Fauchet, Condorcet, Marechal, Saint-Martin, and Thomas Paine, all pro French Revolutionaries. Nine journals were published by le Cercle Social, nine titles are by Nicolas de Bonneville, and there are 30 related titles. The Cercle Social, 1790-93, was a club and publishing company begun by a small group of Parisian intellectuals and municipal leaders in early 1790. Its purpose was to reinterpret Enlightenment thought in the wake of the Revolution. Abbe Fauchet led the weekly meetings analyzing Rousseau’s Social Contract. He founded Bouche de Fer , which is one of the titles in this set. Condorcet, an academic, philosophe, and mathematician, was the principal spokesman for organized science in France at the time of the Revolution. Marechal was a writer and journalist, a leader in Babeuf’s Conspiracy of Equals. They the Cercle Social members developed radical notions about the rights of women and the poor and supported the Civil Constitution of the Clergy. It was involved in the burgeoning democratic movement and was instrumental in organizing the republican campaign after the King’s flight to Varennes. The club was suppressed after the “massacre” at the Champ de Mars, but the publishing company aspect expanded its activities. They published over 180 pamphlets and journals from 1790-93. R.B. Rose, “Socialism and the French Revolution: the Cercle Social and the Enrages.” Bulletin of the John Rylands Library. 41 (1958-1959), is an article that discusses the Cercle Social.
