Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Memoirs of Joseph Fouche, Vol. 2 of 2: Duke of Otranto, Minister of the General Police of France By turns powerful, dreaded or disgraced, I sought for authority I own, but I detested oppression. What services have I not rendered? What tears have I not dried? Dare, if you can, to deny it, ye whose good opinion I succeeded in gaining, notwithstanding the dreadful events that had passed! Did I not become your protector? Did I not guard you against your own resentments, and the impetuous passions of the chief of the state? I confess that there never was a more absolute police than that whose sceptre I held; but did you not admit that there never was one more protecting under a military government; more adverse to violence; more gentle in the means with which it penetrated into the secret recesses of domestic life, and whose action was less obnoxiously obvious? Did you not say, then, that the Duke of Otranto was, beyond a doubt, the ablest and the most moderate of all Napoleon´s ministers? You hold a different language - for this sole reason: that times have changed. You form your opinion of the past by the present! I do not judge it so. I have committed errors I own; but the good I have done must be taken in the account. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
