Memoirs of the Duchesse de Dino (Afterwards Duchesse de Talleyrand et de Sagan), 1831–1835

“Memoirs of the Duchesse de Dino” by Dorothée duchesse de Dino is a collection of author's memoirs. The content revolves around the politics and government of Europe (1815–1848) as well as foreign relations of France (1830–1848). Excerpt: “They sang vaudevilles and mimicked characters with a vivacity which delighted me, as I am always afraid that they may be bored here, though I admit that their frame of mind was in complete contrast to my own. On the stroke of midnight punch was served; some tears fell into my glass when I thought of those with whom I had so often spent this anniversary.”
