Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of His Own Time, Vol. 1 of 2: Including the Revolution, the Empire, and the Restoration
The inaccuracy and want of truth in the multi tude of private Memoirs, with which we have been inundated, and with which cotemporary history was in a manner overwhelmed, had inspired me with insurmountable disgust. It seemed to me that my testimony would be a useless and slender tribute, and would be lost in that chaos into which so many rash Opinions, so many false statements, so many calumnies, dictated by the spirit of' re venge, will perhaps never suffer the light of truth to penetrate. In fact the number of those Memoirs is but very inconsiderable of which my honorable friend, the count de Segur, has given us so perfect a model. In venturing to imitate him. I yield to his counsels as well as to his warm solicitations.
