Personal reflections during a historical conflict

Description

Comte d'HAUSSONVILLE Mon JOURNAL PENDANT la GUERRE de 1870-1971, published by Calmann-Lévy in Paris: 1905. Published by his son, this work contains 414 pages, in paperback, and is a pleasant copy. The introduction states: "The journal I publish today was kept day by day by my father from the day after the declaration of war until the capitulation of Paris. Now that the men and events of this time have entered history, I believe I can publish this journal without omission. Those who knew my father will find him entirely represented with his generous ardor, unwavering courage, and complete freedom of spirit and judgment. Those who did not know him will learn what a good Frenchman was the one whose name I am proud to bear. Haussonville."
