Excerpt from Lessons to a Young Prince: By an Old Statesman, on the Present Disposition in Europe to a General Revolution; With the Addition of a Lesson on the Mode of Studying and Profiting by Reflections on the French Revolution

Every Writer wishes to have something understood, though he may seldom suggest the truth, respecting himself.

That I am approaching the extremity of life, may be credited, from my garrulity, from a general recurrence to distant events, as authorities, and from an affection of prophecy or prediction.

- That I am disinterested, will not be supposed, at a time when the possibility of disinterestedness is disputed.
