Excerpt from University Library of Autobiography: Including All the Great Autobiographies and the Autobiographical Data Left by the World's Famous Men and Women
Metternich's memoirs are therefore famous; his estimates of Napoleon and other contemporaries have become classic. Yet there is a narrowness about all his views, the craftiness of the aged politician shows everywhere in his judgments; and, as men ventured to say even in his own day of repression, if Europe had only been saved from Napoleon to be handed over to Metternich, it might just as well have been left un saved.
