Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Prince Metternich, Vol. 1: 1773-1815 It is the First Part which is now published in these two volumes, comprising the period from 1773 to 1815. The work will be published simultaneously in German, French, and English. The documents left by Prince Metternich are written partly in German and partly in French. In the accomplishment of my arduous task I have had the assistance of others, whose valuable help I most thankfully acknowledge. Amongst others I specially mention with gratitude His Excellency Baron Aldenburg, whose rare knowledge and great experience have never failed me. I am also under great obligations to the Government officials, to the directors and custodians of the State Archives, who placed their treasures at my disposal for the benefit of this work, but I have used their liberalty merely to fill up gaps in the papers left by the Chancellor. To do more than this would have been to alter the character of my work. Lastly, I must mention, as a true fellow-labourer in this great enterprise, my friend, Hofrath von Klinkowstrom. Entrusted with the sifting and arranging of the Chancellor´s papers, he has given to this vast collection of documents the form under which they are now presented to the public. I now leave my father to speak. The reader shall, in this work, hear the voice which once made itself heard in all the Courts and Cabinets of Europe, and see the man who had the honour of leading for many years the Conservative party of the Austrian Empire.
