HUGO VICTOR: (1802-1885) French Poet and Novelist. A.L.S., Victor Hugo, one page, 8vo, n.p., 26th February, n.y. [1845], to Count Gustave de Chanaleilles, in French. Hugo is very upset because the perpetual secretary, on the day before of the acceptance of Sainte Beuve at the French Academy, is breaking his commitment of procuring a fair post for him and regretting not being able to accompany his correspondent, states in part `Can you forgive me for my misfortune? There is an unprecedented clutter, and I am reduced to the minimum portion. My own sons do not have tickets
´ With address leaf, bearing few ink stamps. Extremely small minor creasing, otherwise G to VG Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve (1804-1869) French literary Critic. Proust´s masterwork A la Recherche du temps perdu develops the ideas contained in his well-known set of essays Contre Sainte-Beuve (''Against Sainte-Beuve'').
