Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Memoirs of Baron Thiebault (Late Lieutenant-General in the French Army), Vol. 1 of 2: Translated and Condensed
General Thiebault belonged to the latter class; at least so we must assume from the fact that his memoirs have remained in manuscript for nearly fifty years after his death The editor, M. Fernand Calmettes, does not indeed say in so many words that they have been so long withheld from publication by Thiebault's expressed desire; but considering the distinguished position which the writer held both as a soldier and as a man of letters, it would seem improbable that, without some such obstacle to their publication, his family would have allowed such an extremely valuable contribution to the history of the time to remain so long unknown.
