Half-title: Memoirs of Marshal Duke de Richelieu, by M. F. Barrière.

A translation of Barrière's edition of the "Mémoires du marèchal duc de Richelieu" (first issued in 1858). This work, though less complete than the edition of the "Mémoires", published in 9 vols. by J.L. Soulavie in 1790, is less spurious, an attempt having been made to select the true from the false. cf. Quérard's Les supercheries littéraires devollées, v. 3, col. 426.

"Extract from the Memoirs of Madame the Countess de Genlis": v. 3, p. [187]-389.
