I know that under the pressure of these facts, my dear colleague and friend Mr. Jules SIMON prepares on his side, a work which will appear soon. A small edition of my work, which was very tightly edited, and which I increased by half for the in-8° edition, had, as you know, a complete success. A great number of newspapers of Paris and the Departments gave important extracts of it, in the same way, LA CLOCHE, extinct newspaper, gave it almost entirely in serial. On all sides, and by B. St Hilaire, in the name of THIERS in his own name, it was written to me that my book was the truest and most conclusive indictment against the Empire..."
