Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Marquis De La Fayette, Major-General in the Revolutionary Army of the United States of America The Author gave his name to the public for the publication of the Memoirs of the Marquis La Fayette, soon after he arrived in America, and before it was known that any other writer would appear on the subject. Soon after this, one volume of Memoirs of La Fayette appeared in New York, by General Holstein, another in Boston, and a third in Hartford; the two last are anonymous. It was the intention of the Author to have presented this work to the public at a much earlier day; but soon after those works appeared, it was judged best to defer this, so as to embrace a sketch of the southern and western Tour of General La Fayette, and his visit at Bunker Hill, on the 17th of June, where he engaged to be present at the dedication of the Monument. The Author feels himself much indebted to General Holstein for the particular knowledge he has acquired of the life of General La Fayette while in exile, and his retirement at La Grange, after his return to France. That the eventful scenes through which General La Fayette has been called to pass may be clearly understood, and the firmness, integrity, and magnanimity of his character fully realized, the Author has judged it proper and necessary to give a general sketch of the American and French Revolutions. If it should be inquired what connection the movements of the French armies can have with the Memoirs of General La Fayette, after he fled into exile, or the expedition of General Bonaparte into Egypt and Syria, it must be remembered, that the successful campaign of General Bonaparte in Italy was the immediate cause of the liberation of General La Fayette, and family, and friends, from the prison of Olmutz, by the peace of Campo Formio; and that the defeat of General Bonaparte in Syria was the immediate cause of his return to France, and effecting the revolution in the government of the 18th Brumair, (October,) that rendered it safe for the Marquis La Fayette to return into France under the Consular Government.
