Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Souvenirs du Baron de Barante, de l'Acad�mie Fran�aise, 1782-1866, Vol. 1: Publi�s par Son Petit-Fils
Je n'avais aucune envie de laisser des M�moires; il me semblait que tout ce qui se rapporte � la vie priv�e ne doit pas �tre livr� � la publicit�, et, si j'ai v�cu longtemps dans la r�gion des affaires politiques, je n'ai jamais �t� ni ministre, ni grand orateur, ni homme de parti. Je me suis born� �'remplir mon devoir consciencieusement, restant toujo'urs fid�le � mes opinions' et � mes amiti�s. Je n'ai d�cid� aucune grande question, je n'ai pris une part active � aucun notable mouvement.
