Louis de Rouvroy de Saint-Simon

4.9/5 (26291 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Memoirs of Louis XIV and His Court and of the Regency While still a youth, but with a mind well stored with French history from reading the numerous memoirs from Villchardouin down to his own contemporary Cardinal Retz, Saint-Simon decided that he would leave to posterity an account of those events in which he himself took part either as an eyewitness or as an actor. No one was better able than he, no one better endowed by nature to relate to us, in their minute detail, the thousand little incidents, which taken together form the history of the latter part of the reign of Louis XIV. and that of the Regency. Son of a former favorite of Louis XIII., having as sponsors at his baptism, at the palace of Versailles, King Louis XIV. and Queen Maria Theresa, Saint-Simon first appears at court in the year 1692 and seems destined for a brilliant career. His early life is auspicious; at the age of twenty, he is already a captain in the cavalry; married to the daughter of his superior officer, Marshal de Lorgcs, he is given an apartment in the palace of Versailles. Ambitious, he longs for fame. At Gineshcim-on-the-Rhine, where he is in command, he begins the writing of his memoirs on which he was to work during sixty years Destined for great things, his life was passed in a narrow sphere, for this brilliant young officer, offended by an appointment which he considered unjust, it having been made by an underling of the Ministry, threw up his commission in the army and for a long time was satisfied to remain a simple courtier.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
