Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Gilbert Motier La Fayette I should never have thought of writing a biography of General La Fayette, had not several of my friends, who were aware of the intimacy which had existed between us, urged me to the task with such earnest solicitations, that I was obliged at last to yield to their request; and this I did the less reluctantly, because I knew that I could furnish particulars, hitherto unknown, that would not fail to interest the friends of La Fayette. But the time was short, and the General arrived. I was consequently compelled to abridge, and even to omit several chapters entirely, and to pass over a great number of characteristic anecdotes, and many new and interesting details, in order to satisfy the impatience of the public. In preparing the following work, I have consulted Marshall´s Life of Washington, the Histories of the Revolutionary War by Butler, Ramsay, and Mrs. Warren, as well as the Memoirs of the Life of General La Fayette, by Regnault-Warin, 2 vols. 8vo. Paris, 1824, the History of the Principal Events of the Reign of Frederick II. King of Prussia, by Segur, 3 vols. Paris, 1800; Historical Memoirs and Authentic Details respecting M. de la Fayette, Paris; France, by Lady Morgan, the Edinburgh Review, the Annual Register, with a variety of other publications.
