Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs and Correspondence of Mallet Du Pan, Illustrative of the History of the French Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2
As far as possible, the purely conjectural discussions which naturally abound in many of these pages have been omitted; but Whatever partook of the nature of historic critique and philosophic judgment, whatever could serve to define the manner in which events were felt by con temporaries, has been, and deserved to be, retained: we hope that it will be so considered. In one word, we have desired to produce an useful work, and we have been on our guard against allowing it to be in any sense a work of vanity, confident of thus honouring, with a respect which he would have accepted, the least vain of men, and most practical of thinkers.
