Excerpt from Evenings With Prince Cambacérès, Vol. 1 of 2: Second Consul, Archchancellor of the Empire, Duke of Parma, &C. &C. &C
In the arrangement of my materials, I have not observed any chronological regularity. I pre sent them to the reader nearly in the order, or, to speak more correctly, the disorder, in which I find them collected in my notes. I give the Conversations as they occurred, and, consequently, without regard to unity of time, place, or subject. The merit of the work rests solely on the value of the materials of which it is composed and, in sub mitting those materials to the press, I have been actuated by the spirit of truth, and not by the vanity of authorship.
