Memoirs of Cardinal de Retz V2 is a book that contains the personal memoirs of Jean-Francois-Paul de Gondi, also known as Cardinal de Retz. This is the second volume of the memoirs and it covers the period from 1649 to 1655. The book is written in the form of a first-person narrative and provides a detailed account of the political and social events that took place during this period in France. The author, who was a key figure in the Fronde rebellion against the French monarchy, provides an insider's perspective on the events that led to the rebellion and the subsequent negotiations that took place between the rebels and the monarchy. The book also provides insights into the character and personality of the author, who was known for his wit, charm, and political acumen. Overall, Memoirs of Cardinal de Retz V2 is a fascinating historical document that provides a unique perspective on a turbulent period in French history.Had I been wise I should have stopped there, because a man ought in prudence to make his peace with the Court upon any terms consistent with honour. But I was young, and the more provoked because I perceived that all the fair words given me at Fontainebleau were but a feint to gain time to write about the affair to my uncle, then at Angers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
