Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Memoirs of Joseph Fouché, Duke of Otranto, Minister of the General Police of France These Memoirs have neither been produced by party spirit, hatred, nora desire of vengeance, and still less that they might afford food for scandal and malignity. I respect all that is deserving of honour in the opinions of men. Let me be read, and my intentions, my views, my sentiments, and the political motives by which I was guided in the exercise of the highest duties, will then be appreciated; let me be read, and it will then be seen if, in the councils of the republic and of Napoleon, I have not been the constant opponent of the extravagant measures of the government; let me be read, and it will be apparent if 1 have not displayed some courage in my warnings and remonstrances; in short, by perusing me, the conviction will follow, that I owed it as a duty to myself to write what I have written. The only means of rendering these Memoirs advantageous to my own character, and useful to the history of those eventful times, was to rest them solely upon the pure and simple truth; to this I have been induced, both by disposition and conviction; my situation also made it an imperative law to me.
