Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Originally published in 1920, this book contains the French text of
the eighth and ninth books of Chateaubriand's Memoires
d-Outre-Tombe. These two books cover Chateubriand's time in England
between 1792 and 1800, when he was living in exile after fighting
on the Royalist side at the siege of Thionville, during which time
he became acquainted with English literature and wrote his
influential essay on the causes of the French Revolution. This book
will be of value to anyone with an interest in Chateaubriand's life
and work."

Chateaubriand's Travels in America, presented here in its first
modern translation, was a reflection of the attitudes of his epoch
toward the New World. And at the same time, because of his enormous
literary reputation, it has continued to be a major source of
European impressions about America. The America portrayed by
Chateaubriand was much more a product of his reading and his
imagination than of his actual visit. (His supposed itinerary
included a trip up the Hudson to Albany, a visit to Niagara Falls
via the Mohawk Trail, a trip down the Mississippi to the Natchez
country, and even a visit to the Carolinas and the southern tip of
Florida). Though the Frenchman of the nineteenth century could have
obtained a much truer picture of America in any number of realistic
works, he still chose the poetic evocation of Chateaubriand because
he shared the same temperament, the same prejudices, and the same
particular view of the world.
