Excerpt from Journal des Règnes de Louis XIV Et Louis XV: De l'Année 1701 à l'Année 1744
Ce qui fait le charme et l'attrait des mémoires historiques, c'est d'y voir les personnages comme ils sont le plus sou vent dans la vie ordinaire, posant devant vous, au milieu d'une société dont on saisit là, plus facilement que dans l'histoire les moeurs, les usages et les préjugés. Malheureu sement, él c'est là le côté fâcheux de ce genre d'écrits, ces mémoires ne sont bien souvent qu'une longue apologie de celui que l'amour-propre ou quelque autre sentiment égonste, a poussé à mettre en relief une personnalité plus ou moins intéressante.
