PREFACE.
Unpublished correspondence—that delight of theeager biographer—is not to be had in the case ofMadame de Staël, for, as is well known, the DeBroglie family either destroyed or successfully hidall the papers which might have revealed any factsnot already in possession of the world.
The writer of the present brief memoir has, consequently,had to fall back upon the following well-knownworks:
The Correspondance of the Abbé Galiani, of Mme.Du Deffand, of Rahel Varnhagen, and of Schiller;the Memoirs of Marmontel, of Mme. D’Arblay, ofMme. de Rémusat, of Mme. d’Abrantè, of Bourrienne,and of the Comte de Montlosier; Ticknor’sLetters; Châteaubriand’s Mémoires d’Outre Tombe;De Goncourt’s Histoire de la Société Française pendantla Révolution, and Histoire de la Société Fra BU KİTABI OKUMAK İÇİN ÜYE OLUN VEYA GİRİŞ YAPIN!
