Bright, who published it in the Miscellanies of the Philobiblion Society (1872-76, vol. XIV). An admiring commentary on her future husband's account of his travels: 'Cet homme a une ame noble et forte, un feu actif et pénétrant qui animent et vivifient ses Expressions et ses écrits; son oeil Philosophe'; she continues with praise for England's institutions including even 'l'Equité du code criminel ... la vigilance du magistrat, l'exactitude de la Police', mentioning her hero, Rousseau, before in a long introspective passage referring to her friendship with Sophie Cannet: '[J]e me réfugiai dans le sein d'une amie pour y goûter tous les charmes auxquels il fallait renoncer dans les liaisons ordinaires'. Jean-Marie Roland de la Platière, an inspector of manufactures in Amiens, visited England in 1771. He was introduced to Jeanne-Marie Philipon, twenty years younger, by her friend, Sophie Cannet (the 'amie' referred to in the manuscript), in 1775 but left the next year on a long official tour of Italy; they married in 1780. Included as Appendix IV in the Mémoires , ed. C. Perroud (1905).
