Présentation de l'éditeur

Mirabeau published in Les grands Ecrivains fraais series (H achette, 1891) M. Rousse tells us that everything we need wish to know about Mirabeau may be found in the memoirs published by M. Lucas de Montigny (8 vols., Delauney, 1835), in the exhaustive work of MM. Louis and Charles de Lomenie (L es Mirabeau, 5vols., Dentu, 1878-1891), and in the correspondence between Mirabeau and La Marck edited by M. de Bacourt (2 vols., Meline, Cans, and Cie., 1851). If we add to these works the Souvenirs sur Mirabeau of Dumont (1 vol., Bossange, 1832) and the life of Mirabeau written by Professor Alfred Stern (D as Leben Mirabeaus, 2vols., Cronbach, 1889), this last the most complete, impartial, and interesting biography of the orator existing, we are not likely, when endeavouring to acquaint ourselves with Mirabeau, to be led into error by want of knowledge of the facts or of competent guidance.
