The English Translation Of De SS. Martyrum Cruciatibus.

1904. This book is only a by-work of the mighty chronicler of the history of France, the pastille of a period of comparative leisure and relaxation in a busy life spent at Toulon, the scene of some of the most thrilling of the events recorded - the pieties and ecstasies, the temptations and sufferings of poor Charlotte Cadiere and the villainies of her seducer, the vile hypocrite, Father Girard. But it is none the less delightful for that reason; in fact, it seems to reflect the author's brilliant personality, to express his intimate thoughts and personal views and predilections more vividly than longer and more labored treatises can do.

Originally published in 1927. Contents Include Foreword Diary-July 11, 1871, to July 17, 1871 Preface Text Appendix Index "The Daily Impressions Received during the Campaign of 1870, 1871 and only Cursorily Jotted down in my Diary under Stress of Military Duties I have Supplemented and Completed since my Subsequent return Home by Extracts from the Correspondence Regularly Maintained between my Wife and Myself. On Principle, however, I was Firmly Resolved to Set down only my Actual, Personal Experiences and Feelings from Day to Day Consequently no Improvement or Alteration has been made under the Influence of Later Events. Thus my Diary is a Contribution to the History of that Great and Memorable War, Containing also much Information, Hardly to be found elsewhere, Throwing Light on the Events of which the outside World takes a View Differing Widely from the Reality. Similarly, the Character of Prominent Personages will often wear another aspect than that in which the Present Age and History represent it. But Revelations of this kind are not for Contemporaries to know I therefore direct that no one else but my Wife and my Grown-up Children is to examine my Diary till the year 1922 is ended. After that there is nothing to Hinder it's Publication." Illustrated with photographs.
