The memoirs are written in a candid and engaging style, offering readers a unique perspective on one of the most significant periods in French history. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of France, the monarchy, or the cultural and social developments of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.If my father had loved me as well as I loved him he would never have sent me into a country so dangerous as this, to which I came through pure obedience and against my own inclination. Here duplicity passes for wit, and frankness is looked upon as folly. I am neither cunning nor mysterious. I am often told I lead too monotonous a life, and am asked why I do not take a part in certain affairs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
