Second edition. Tulard, 1330. "This son of a minister of war under Louis XVI, comrade-in-arms of La Fayette, member of the Corps Législatif and then the Conseil d'Etat, senator in 1813, high dignitary of the imperial court, left memoirs on Napoleon's entourage which, according to Marcel Dunan, are just as worth reading, although of less absorbing interest than those of his younger son". The Revolution is briefly mentioned. On the other hand, these memoirs are indispensable for the history of Russia at the end of the 18th century. A fine copy. Ex-libris Morel de Campenelle. Some foxing and pencil underlining.
