Barante's Memoirs
May 18, 1893 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information regarding the third volume of "Souvenirs," by M. de Barante. This third volume consists entirely of letters, and in so far it has not the interest of the first two, which are real historical memoirs and have at times the true tone of history. With the letters one is obliged to reconstruct history, and one can do so only in a fragmentary manner. Each correspondent gives only abrupt impressions of facts which often have no relation to each other. The letters observe a chronological order. It is to be regretted that there is no table of contents, as it is difficult to follow the sequence of the letters of the same correspondent.
