affect the nature of the impressions which were produced by the events on the mind of the author. This book must not, therefore, be confounded with the fabricated Memoirs so profusely offered to the public within the last thirty years-works not indeed without merit, and in many instances written with ability, but in which their reputed authors have little share.
The readers of his Memoirs will probably agree with or differ from Count Miot's views and judgment of men and things, according to their own opinions, likes, and dislikes; but they cannot fail to close the book with sentiments of esteem and regard for its author, as a good man, and one who sincerely loved his country and mankind.
