Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Baron Hyde De Neuville, Vol. 2 of 2: Outlaw, Exile, Ambassador Notwithstanding my impatience to reach Paris, I stayed in London long enough to see a few of my friends. I heard that Sir Sidney Smith was there, whom I had not met since the days when 1 used to cross over to England in the service of the King.1 knew the Admirals practical character, and his sound judgment combined with singular generosity. He greeted me warmly, and explained to me better than anyone I had yet seen, the true situation of the French government. ´My friend,´ he said,. ´Your King has all the qualifications necessary for reigning over a nation like yours; he measures out his concessions in proportion to the degree of liberty that, in his opinion, the people can bear, after a Revolution that has shed the most generous blood without founding anything. ´But, do you not see a black speck, to which no one is paying any attention, on the other side of the Channel?´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
