Conversations With M. Thiers, M. Guizot, and Other Distinguished Persons, During the Second Empire, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Conversations With M. Thiers, M. Guizot, and Other Distinguished Persons, During the Second Empire, Vol. 1 of 2

Mr. Senior's conversations in Paris, from 1848 to 1852, appeared in print soon after the close of the disastrous war during which the Second Empire crumbled away.

The lapse of time has at length made it possible to bring out another series. The last journal that my father ever wrote was in 1863, and at first I thought of publishing extracts from the whole succession; but the wealth of materials was so great that it would have been impossible to keep the work within reasonable limits. The present publication, therefore, ends with our visit to Val Richer in 1860.
