Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten Years' Exile: Or Memoirs of That Interesting Period of the Life of the Baroness De Stael-Holstein, Written by Herself, During the Year 1811, 1812, and 1813, and Now First Published From the Original Manuscript The production which is now submitted to the reader, is not a complete work, and ought not to be critized as such. It consists of Fragments of her Memoirs, which my mother had intended to complete at her leisure, and which would have probably undergone alterations, of the nature of which I am ignorant, if a longer life had been allowed her to revise and finish them. This reflection was sufficient to make me examine most scrupulously if I was authorized to give them publicity.
