Excerpt from A History of My Time, Vol. 1: Memoirs of Chancellor Pasquier, The Revolution the Consulate the Empire, 1789-1810 Arr-ma a perusal of all that I have written during the last eight years, the first question I asked myself was what title I should give to the voluminous product of my labor. I next sought to form an idea of the judgment likely to be passed upon it, should it see the light of publication. At all events, that day will not come, if my wishes are respected, until some time after my death. The title of Memoirs is well worn, moreover, I do not fill a sufficiently important place in this lengthy narra tive, and the events which I relate therein are of too great a magnitude for me to give myself undue promi ncnoc. On the other hand, the title of History is somewhat imposing, and, is my book on a level with so pretentious a title, when I have remained silent about many matters, and, at times, passed rapidly over important events?
