MY MEMOIRS. 



By HENRI STEPHAN DE BLOWITZ. 

 Edited by STEPHAN LAUZANNE DE BLOWITZ. 



Demy 8w. With Portrait, i^s. nett. 



Contrary to the general belief, the late M. de Blowitz, who was for 

 nearly thirty years the Paris Correspondent of The Times, had been 

 engaged for some time before his death in putting into shape for 

 publication some of the more remarkable incidents of his career. 

 These characteristic chapters of autobiography, which have been 

 arranged for the press by M. de Blowitz's adopted son, the Editor ol 

 Le Matin, reveal some of the methods by which the best-known of modern 

 Correspondents achieved his greatest journalistic triumphs. M. de 

 Blowitz describes in his own inimitable manner his early youth ; how 

 he became a journalist ; his interview with Alphonso XII., when the 

 latter was proclaimed King of Spain; how he averted the German 

 invasion of France in 1875 ; the part he played at the Berlin Congress, 

 when he secured the publication of the Treaty in The Times on the very 

 morning that it was signed ; the subsequent attempt made, through the 

 agency of a woman, to discover how he did it ; what the Sultan told 

 him during his visit to Constantinople ; and the circumstances of Prince 

 Bismarck's retirement. On these and many other topics which have 

 been the source of world-wide curiosity, M. de Blowitz takes the reader 

 into his confidence. He was the only man who could have written 

 such memoirs — or who would have written them as he has done.
