Abstract

The third volume of the memoirs of the Baron de Vitrolles is not inferior in interest to the first two volumes. It opens at Vincennes, France. The old castle brought to mind the young Due d'Enghien. Vitrolles had known of him, had seen him in all the bloom of youth. The fate of the Due d'Enghien was before Vitrolles. He was left alone, without any news. After a few days the papers were sent to him. He learned that he was excepted from the general amnesty given by Napoleon Bonaparte, and waited quietly for events. He was preparing for death, and looked through the bars of his prison on the sky and on the country, as if every day would be his last.
