Memoirs Of The Duchesse De Dino Afterwards Duchesse De Talleyrand Et De Sagan 1831 1835 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Duchesse De Dino (Afterwards Duchesse De Talleyrand Et De Sagan), 1831-1835 Some months before her death in 1862 my grandmother, who was then fully aware of her condition, herself told me of the precious legacy which would be transmitted to me when she was gone by M. De Bacourt, her executor, and added her final instructions and advice. A just judgment on conspicuous ideas and persons is possible only after the lapse of many years, and so I should willingly have postponed the publication of these Memoirs. But some years since, my niece, the Comtesse Jean de Castellane, published the story of the early years of the Duchesse de Dino, and as many readers desire to have the continuation, I have decided not to withhold it any longer, and it will be found in the following pages.
