REGNAULT-WARIN Jean-Baptiste-Joseph (Bar-le Duc/ Meuse 1775 - 1844 - Publicist, novelist and prolific literary scholar. He adopted the principles of the Revolution, was one of the editors of LA BOUCHE DE FER and published several writings in favor of the 1791 Constitution. He was detained for some time during the Terror, emigrated and returned to France on 18 Brumaire. Arrested in 1801, for a Royalist work entitled LE CIMETIÈRE DE LA MADELEINE, he owed his freedom to JOSÉPHINE's intercession with the First Consul - Letter A.S. PARIS July 3, 1814 - 2 pages in-4°. He requests publication of his Declaration on the subject of the CIMETIÈRE DE LA MADELEINE, in response to that which the Journal de Paris has inserted in its Feuille. In this Declaration, he disavows the various Editions of the Cimetière de la Madeleine, published without his consent since the Restoration. This led to his incarceration. "I take this opportunity to date the moment I raise under the Title of REGICIDE, to the Royal victims of the House of France; this work will appear within the year. Finally, you may add... as being in press, LE PANÉGYRIQUE DU SECOND SAINT LOUIS, Oraison funèbre de Louis XVI, pronounced in 1806, and in which I requested, for this august martyr and for all those of the Revolution, a monument and expiatory solemnities...".
