Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Count De Falloux, Vol. 1 of 2: From the French M. de Talleyrand could not help expressing his admiration for the English diplomatist at the Congress of Vienna who was distinguished from his colleagues by not wearing any order; and so in the present day, when every strolling player who has made enough money to retire from the stage thinks that to write his "Memoirs" is a duty which he owes to society, it might be argued that the man who has really occupied a large place in the history of his time best consults his own dignity by declining to run the risk of being classed with the band of scribblers who pander to the taste for disconnected gossip and tittle-tattle which is one of the characteristics of an age which is always in a hurry, which has no time for any reading that requires steady thought and application.
