Excerpt from Memoirs of the Right Reverend Simon Wm, Gabriel Bruté, D.D: First Bishop of Vincennes, With Sketches Describing His Recollections of Scenes Connected With the French Revolution, and Extracts From His Journal It may be proper for me to state in what manner the following Papers came into my possession, and the reasons which have induced me to publish them. In 1847, Monseignor De la Hailandiere, the successor of Bishop Brute in the See of Vincennes, presented to the Most Rev. Archbishop (then Bishop) of New York a large number of MSS. which had belonged to his predecessor. In examining them, I found amongst them a small MS. volume of Notes and reminiscences of the French Revolution, which, with the approbation of the Bishop, I determined to prepare for publication.
