Controversial leader of the early stages of the French Revolution (1749-1791). Untranslated handwritten manuscript in French, unsigned, penned in the hand of Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, one page, both sides, 6.75 x 8.5, no date. One side appears to be the opening of an article entitled "Réflexions Sur La Musique en général et sur La Musique instrumentale en particulier" [Reflections on music in general and on instrumental music in particular]; the other side is marked "N'o 19" in the upper left corner. In very good to fine condition, with staining to the lower right corner, an old mounting strip along the left edge, and a numbering slip affixed to the upper left corner, which covers a small area of paper loss on the reverse.
