Excerpt from History of the Expedition to Russia, Vol. 1 of 2: Undertaken by the Emperor Napoleon Count Paul Philip De Segur was born in the year 1780, he is the eldest son of the Count de Segur, well known by the important public functions which he has successively discharged in the service of his country previously to, and after the Revolution, and still more distinguished by his literary productions, of which his own Memoirs, not yet finished, still occupy a large share of the public attention. The family has been conspicuous for several generations by the talents of its members. On the establishment of the Consular government, in 1799, the elder Count Segur emerged from the retirement in which he had lived for several years, entirely occupied with literary pursuits, and became one of the members of the Corps Legislatif. In the same year our author entered into the military service of his country, and served his first campaign under Moreau in Germany.
