Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Comte De Rambuteau These pages, which I offer with some diffidence to the public, and especially to my own friends and those of my family, were bequeathed to me by my grandfather. Guided by a marvellous memory, he dictated them to his secretary during his long retirement, leaving me to dispose of them in whatever manner I deemed best. The present moment seems the fitting one for their publication. For have not the political agitations of last century been reduced to mere reminiscences, thanks to that overwhelming wave of democratic influence which has transformed the combatants of yesterday into the conquered of to-day? And yet that struggle was a noble one! Men´s minds were fired with patriotism: their ambition was to achieve a well-regulated liberty, and well would it be for ourselves if we could revive the echoes of those utterances at sound of which the hearts of our gallant opponents were wont to kindle. History loves the "Green Room," with its cunning devices and all its "behind-scenes" mechanism, whereby those stage effects are produced which so successfully delude contemporary onlookers. Mémoires give us the entrée to the actual stage, where we can glide amongst the actors, great and small, each of whom has his own allotted part to play.
