Memoirs, Correspondence And Manuscripts Of General Lafayette

by General Lafayette

Memoirs, Correspondence And Manuscripts Of General Lafayette is a book that contains a collection of writings and documents by the famous French military leader and statesman, General Lafayette. The book includes his personal memoirs, as well as his correspondence and various manuscripts that provide insight into his life and experiences. The memoirs cover Lafayette's early life and military career, including his involvement in the American Revolution, where he played a key role in the Continental Army's victory over the British. The book also contains letters and other documents written by Lafayette to various individuals, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other prominent figures of the time. In addition to the historical significance of these documents, the book provides a glimpse into Lafayette's personal life and relationships with his family, friends, and colleagues. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American Revolution, as well as the life and legacy of General Lafayette.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.
