| Notes | The book was nominally written for the instruction of his children. It contains an exquisite picture of his own childhood in the Limousin, a literary history of two important reigns, and a great gallery of portraits extending from the venerable Jean Baptiste Massillon, whom more than half a century previously he had seen at Clermont, to Honoré Mirabeau; its value for the literary historian is great.
