Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

By the caprice of fortune many mistakes of mine have turned to my credit, and I very much doubt whether it would be prudent in me to remove the veil with which some of them are covered. But as I am resolved to give you a naked, impartial account of even the most minute passages of my life ever since I have been capable of reflection, so I most humbly beg you not to be surprised at the little art, or, rather, great disorder, with which I write my narrative.

Excerpt from Memoirs of Cardinal De Retz At an age when others are scarcely abbes, he is nominated coadjutor to the Archbishop of Paris. But De Gondi is not satisfied. He must have more; he has the ambition to be prime minister, to replace Richelieu and Mazarin. It is to succeed in this aim that he inaugurates the long campaign recounted in his Memoirs, and becomes the directing spirit in the great revolutionary movement, which is the F ronde.
