Unpublished correspondencethat delight of the eager biographeris not to be had in the case of Madame de Stal, for, as is well known, the De Broglie family either destroyed or successfully hid all the papers which might have revealed any facts not already in possession of the world. The writer of the present brief memoir has, consequently, had to fall back upon the following well-known works: The Correspondance of the Abb Galiani, of Mme. Du Deffand, of Rahel Varnhagen, and of Schiller; the Memoirs of Marmontel, of Mme. DArblay, of Mme. de Rmusat, of Mme. dAbrant, of Bourrienne, and of the Comte de Montlosier; Ticknors Letters; Chteaubriands Mmoires dOutre Tombe; De Goncourts Histoire de la Socit Franaise pendant la Rvolution, and Histoire de la Socit Franaise pendant le Directoire; Lacretelles Dix Annes dpreuve; Michelets Le Directoire, Le Dix-huit Brumaire, and Jusqu Waterloo; Le Salon de Madame Necker, by Vicomte dHaussonville; Studies of the Eighteenth Century in Italy, by Vernon Lee; Byrons Letters; Benjamin Constants Letters to Mme. Rcamier; Coppet and Weimar; Les Correspondants de Joubert, by Paul Raynal; Les Causeries du Lundi, and other studies by Ste. Beuve; Droz Histoire du Rgne de Louis XVI.; Villemains Cours de Littrature Franaise; the fragments from Constants Journals, recently published in the Revue Internationale; Sismondis Journals and letters; and sundry old articles in the Revue des Deux Mondes; besides various other volumes, of which the list would be long and wearisome to detail. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
