A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

If I mistake not, the reader will be struck by the distinctly other-century atmosphere pervading these pages and conveying such a vivid impression of the way people lived under the three successive reigns. Moreover, these annals are blemished by none of that bitterness which sometimes survives the grave, nor with the least indiscretion with regard to the private lives of individuals. I can only trust that if they contribute to the readers happiness, they will inspire him with a feeling of sympathy for my grandfather, who was, above all things, an honest man and a Frenchman of his time and country. In his later years he was very prescient of the rising wind which was to freshen into such a succession of storms, and he would often exclaim, I have seen too many revolutions :G od preserve me from any more !H is prayer was heard, for he died in the spring of 1869. Very few of those who knew him are alive now, but the ideas he cherished are very far from becoming obsolete in France. True! Time modifies everything, but it has not yet sapped the foundations of patriotism, nor eradicated all love of their country from the breasts of Frenchmen. It was of that sacred love that my grandfather was one of the most indefatigable champions. Lastly, a stroke of good fortune has befallen these time-faded pages! They have been collated with rare skill by a remarkably talented author (a Burgundian, attached to the Lycee Lamartine), who has at the same time supplied a faithful picture of the writer of the manuscript. Herewith I tender my sincere thanks to him. RAMBUTEAU.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
