A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Collegw Library. QH PREFACE THE good friend who has so successfully terminated the task which he felt a vocation t Qundertake thought it would be of advantage to vcomplete it by presenting to the reader a picture vboth of my life as a whole and of the work which it has been given me to accomplish. The better to accomplish his undertaking, he A .abstracted from my correspondence, as well as from the long conversations which we have so often enjoyed together, a great number of those memories of varying importance which serve as tlandmarks in life; above all in a life like mine, not exempt from many cares, yet not very fruitful in incidents or great vicissitudes, since it has been passed very largely, in especial during the last thirty years, in the most absolute retirement and the completest silence.
