Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Count Lavallette, Vol. 2 of 2 He never could explain the murder of Messrs. Foulan and Berthier de Savigny, who were butchered under circumstances of atrocious barbarity on that memorable day. He went home "to read Montesquieu," and became a royalist. Obtaining the patronage of M.D´Ormesson, one of the presidents of the parliament, his disgust strengthened, and with it his zeal for the royal family. He held a post at the Tuileries, at the attack on the palace, on the 10th of August; but after the massacres at the commencement of the following month, he saw that there was no safety but in flight. He then enlisted, was in six weeks a corporal, and soon advanced to a second-lieutenancy in the 93d regiment, forming part of the Army of the Rhine. He served with great distinction during the whole campaign, and it is at the period of his return to Paris from this service that the following Memoir from his own pen commences. The details of Count Lavallette´s imprisonment and remarkable escape, will be found graphically detailed by himself; he relates in a few sentences the effect which was produced on the mind of his wife by her heroic devotion in saving his life - but we cannot refrain from inserting the annexed extract, translated from the "Revue de Paris," Vol. XII., No. 1., 7th March 1830, which contains a brief account of his eventful life. It was published a few days after his death. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
