Product Description

If I were to confound as is too often done obstinacy with firmness I should blush at beginning these memoirs after having so long refused to do so and at even increasing their apparent egotism by my style instead of sheltering myself under cover of the third person; but I will not yield a half compliance to the request of that tender friendship which is far more valuable to me than the ephemeral success which a journal might obtain.
