Excerpt from Journal d'un Diplomate en Italie: Notes Intimes pour Servir A l'Histoire du Second Empire; Turin, 1859-1862
Vous avez vu de près ce ministre italien qui a fait tant de bien à son pays, et tant de mal au nôtre, parce que nous l'avons bien voulu veri table homme d'état, invariable dans ses desseins, souple et patient dans leur exécution, calme dans le succès, ferme dans les revers, se servant des passions mêmes qu'il paraissait servir, et tournant tout ce qu'il rencontrait sur sa route, hommes et choses, vers le but unique qu'il poursuivait l'affranchissement de l'italie.
