| | Xavier de Maistre |
 | | It is the fact round which Madame Cottin has woven her romance "Elisabeth, ou les exilés de la Sibérie", but the story of Xavier de Maistre is by far the truer to life and more pathetic. |
 | | In 1825 de Maistre wrote, as a pendant to his first work, in the same vein, and with the same charm, the "Expédition nocturne autour de ma chambre." |
 | | Xavier de Maistre, it is true, has written only booklets, but these booklets are masterpieces of their kind. |
