Memoirs, Correspondence And Manuscripts Of General Lafayette (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169338708)

The book ""Memoirs, Correspondence And Manuscripts Of General Lafayette"" is a collection of personal writings and documents from the life of General Lafayette. Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a key role in the American Revolutionary War and the French Revolution. The book includes his memoirs, which recount his experiences as a young officer in the American Revolution and his later involvement in the French Revolution. It also includes his correspondence with other prominent figures of the time, such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Additionally, the book features various manuscripts and speeches given by Lafayette throughout his life, providing insight into his political and social beliefs. Overall, this book offers a unique perspective on the life and times of one of history's most influential figures.But the prejuges are not the same thing; for giving publicly the best of such a dispute (for here it becomes a trial for both parties) to an officer of the last military stage against one of the first, should be looked on as an affront to the rank, and acquitting a man, whom one other man accuses, looked upon as an affront to the person. It is the same in Poland, for Count de Pulaski was much affronted at the decision of a court-martial entirely acquitting Colonel Molens. However, as I know the English customs, I am nothing else but surprised to see such a partiality in a court-martial.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
