It offers a unique window into the mind of one of the most influential leaders of the 18th and 19th centuries.But the prejuges are not the same thing; for giving publicly the best of such a dispute (for here it becomes a trial for both parties) to an officer of the last military stage against one of the first, should be looked on as an affront to the rank, and acquitting a man, whom one other man accuses, looked upon as an affront to the person. It is the same in Poland, for Count de Pulaski was much affronted at the decision of a court-martial entirely acquitting Colonel Molens. However, as I know the English customs, I am nothing else but surprised to see such a partiality in a court-martial.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
