This is a translation of the 'Memoires of Jacques du Clercq', published in 1823 in two volumes, edited by Frederic, Baron de Reissenberg. In his introduction Reissenberg writes: 'Jacques du Clercq tells us that he was born in 1424, and that he was a licentiate in law and a counsellor to Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, in the castellany of Douai, Lille, and Orchies. It appears that he established his residence at Arras. In 1446, he married the daughter of Baldwin de la Lacherie, a gentleman who lived in Lille. We read in the fifth book of his Memoirs that his father, also named Jacques du Clercq, had married a lady of the Le Camelin family, from Compiègne. His ancestors, always attached to the counts of Flanders, had constantly served them, whether in their councils or in their armies.' The Memoires cover a period of nineteen years beginning in in 1448, ending in in 1467. It appears that the author had intended to extend the Memoirs beyond that date; no doubt illness or death prevented him from carrying out this plan. As Reissenberg writes the 'merit of this work lies in the simplicity of its narrative, in its tone of good faith, and in a certain air of frankness which naturally wins the reader’s confidence.' Du Clercq ranges from events of national and international importance, including events of the Wars of the Roses in England, to simple, everyday local events such as marriages, robberies, murders, trials and deaths, including that of his own father in Book 5; one of his last entries.

Letters of Harriet, Countess Granville. To Lady G. Morpeth [aged 32]. Saltram: September 1, 1815,
I went yesterday to the slate quarry and all over the beautiful wood in which it is. The day was delicious, and this part of the country is beautiful. It puts me in mind of Bolton and some of the valleys between Theux and Spa.
We had a dinner, Sir John Duckworth, another Sir Something, and a sensible, pleasing physician whom they swear by here.
The Boringdons saw the Pole who has been allowed to go with Buonaparte. He seems really attached to him. Amongst other things he said of him, ' Mais il ne pense jamais k lui,' a new view of his character. There are different versions of all the stories of him and his companions. Some say that Madame Bertrand1 is very much in love with him, others that she detests him, and never calls him anything but I'homme.
Borino [aged 43]2 is so long manoeuvring and marshalling us that I have time to tell you that I had a letter from my aunt. She had just seen the Hollands, Lady H. in grief at the failure of some presents she wanted to send to Buonaparte and Madame Bertrand.
No women were present at the Duchess of Cumberland's [aged 37] marriage. The Dowager Lansdowne proposed herself, and was refused. Caroline William [aged 29] writes me word that she detests Paris, which she says is gay without interest, noisy beyond bearing; that she is magnificently but uncomfortably lodged, alone or in a crowd; and that every countenance bears the stamp of suppressed ill-humour if native, pique if Austrian or Russian, open insolence or vulgar wonder if English, with the only exception of Hart, who sees everything couleur de rose and enjoys himself extremely. The Louvre, she says, is the prey of the spoiler, and Denon3 looking as Jenny's mother did when 'she looked in her face till her heart was nigh to break.' Good-bye.
Note 1. Wife of Comte Bertrand, Buonaparte's secretary. They both accompanied him to St. Helena and were present at his death.
Note 2. Lord Boringdon.
Note 3. Celebrated for his knowledge of art. He accompanied Buonaparte to Egypt, and was on his return named Director- General of the Museums, and retained the place till 1815. He had collected in the conquered countries a great number of works of art, with which he enriched the museums of France.
