Joseph Sanial-Dubay

Joseph Sanial-Dubay (c. 1754 – 2 July 1817) was a French writer and moralist.

The historian Félix Bourquelot (1815–1868) mentions in his La littérature française contemporaine: XIX siècle, 1827-1849 (1857) that the introduction to the re-edition —and slightly expanded version, which brought the total number of pensées to 1322— of Sanial-Dubay's original 1813 Pensées sur l'homme..., retitled in 1815 Pensées sur l'homme... augmentées de celles qui n'avaient pu paraítre sous le règne de la tyranie ("augmented to include those which could not have appeared under the reign of tyranny") refers to the "frenzied tyrant, the enemy of mankind..." ("tyran forcené, l'ennemi du genre humain...") who had just been overthrown from the throne. 1813: Pensées sur l'homme, le monde et les mœurs 1815: Pensées sur l'homme... augmentées de celles qui n'avaient pu paraítre sous le règne de la tyranie
