LETTER FROM ROME ON THE PRESENT STATE OF ITALIAN LITERATURE 36 ODE TO THE ANATOMIE VIVANTE........ THE LONDON MAGAZINE. SEPTEMBER 1, 1825. THE JOURNAL OF A DETENU, AN EYE-WITNESS OF THE EVENTS IN PARIS [THE very curious and interesting notes of the following Journal, contain some important contributions to the history of the most eventful period of modern Europe. The winter of 1813-14 was daily pregnant with unexpected and remarkable events. The Journal forms part of daily notes of occurrences passing under the author's eye, and comprehends such accounts and observations of others as seemed worthy of record. The author invariably distinguishes between what he heard and what he saw; and in noting information on the authority of others he used the greatest caution, sifting and collecting it with the most scrupulous care. The French, in their love of display and indifference to accuracy, and in their inordinate vanity, are witnesses not to be relied upon without the utmost caution and examination. On many of the facts here detailed, the Paris papers preserved a dead silence, and narrated many in precise contradiction to the truth. Several of the notes are from persons of high diplomatic authority, actors in the great scenes described, and they were committed to paper at the time of communication. The author had originally no view to the publication of any portion: the Journal was kept solely for his own amusement and reference, SEPT. 1825. B |
