A translation of Barrier's editon of the "Memoires du marechal duc de Richelieu" (first issued in 1868) This work, though less complete than the edition of the "Memoires", published in 9 vols, by J. L. Soulavie in 1790, is less spuriou, an attempt having been made to select the true from the false. cf. Querard's Les supercheries litteraires devoless v. 2. col. 426.
