“These letters from Madame de Staël to Benjamin Constant, while not of great political importance, show clearly the temper of the times, as well as the emotions of the distinguished woman who wrote them. They are not many, and do not by any means cover the whole period when these two famous people were intimately connected. They show the decadence of their devotion, and represent, by implication, ‘the inconstant Constant’ in any but an admirable light.”—Outlook.
