Sinossi
Excerpt from Autobiography, Vol. 29: A Collection of the Most Instructive and Amusing Lives Ever Published; Written by the Parties Themselves; With Brief Introductions, and Compendious Sequels, Carrying on the Narrative to the Death of Each Writer
Even foreigners have agreed that the French (to whom they so ridiculously refuse all title to epic verse) possess a singular talent for writing those kind of familiar histories, where the author so well avails himself of the first person to afford us a far more intimate acquaintance with either the actions of past ages, or the political events of our own time, than could have been drawn from the gravest records.
To merit the appellation of memoirs it becomes requisite that the historical picture thus presented should be the work of one of the principal actors, or, at least, that the narrator, attached to one of these eminent personages, should have partaken of his fortune in all its vicissitudes of good or had, been the depositary of his most secret thoughts, and enabled to divine the secret motives of all his actions.
