Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of General Dumourier, Vol. 1 It is among the misfortunes that attend General Dumourier, to be abandoned by the world; to be the outcast of society; to be compelled to fly from city to city to seek an asylum from the rage and madness of his countrymen who imagine they will serve the public cause and rid the world of a traitor if they can but plunge a dagger into his breast; and to avoid the wretch whose avarice would tempt him to gain the price offered for his blood by the Convention. Compelled to live among strangers under the disguise of an assumed name, and to submit to the pain of listening to opinions on his conduct, equally severe and unjust, that are industriously circulated by the hired journalists of the different courts of Europe, who bestow their praises only on the successful, and every where encountering emigrants who detest him with as little reason, and as much ferocity as the Jacobins, this man, whom Ministers and Courts received with flattering caresses when he quitted the army, but afterward calumniated and persecuted, for having published memorials which contained his real and serious opinions, at length obeys the call of duty, by giving to the world the Memoirs of his life.
