Excerpt from Memoirs of the Marchioness De La Rochejaquelein: Translated From the French IT is for you, my Dear Children, that Ihave had the resolution to finish these Memoirs, begun long before your birth, and many times abandoned; 21 feel a mournful pleasure in re counting to you the glorious history of the life and death of your parents and friends. Other books may acquaint you with the principal actions by which they were distinguished; but I have thought that a simple recital, written by your mother, would inspire you with a more filial and tender sentiment for their illustrious memory. 1 regarded it also as a duty, to render homage to their brave companions in arms. But how many traits have escaped me! I had no notes. What remained on my memory of the deep im pression received at the time, has been my only resource. Far from being able to write the complete history of La Vendee, I have not even related all that passed'during the times I witnessed. I have to regret the omission of many interesting facts, and many names worthy of being re corded; but I felt both unable and unwill ing to relate any thing beyond my imme diate recollections, and did not pretend to write a history of the Civil War. I fervent ly hope that other pens, better qualified than mine, will undertake the melancholy task. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
