Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Memoirs of Cardinal Pacca, Vol. 1 of 2: Prime Minister to Pius VII The intrinsic merit of the work itself, as pub lished in Italian, as well as the nature of a subject rendered doubly interesting at the present moment in consequence of the analogy it bears to occurrences now passing within the Papal dominions, were, perhaps, alone a suffi cient apology for laying the present English translation before the public; but it has also the advantage of the autobiographical form adopted by the venerable author, that combines to render the relation of the circumstances treated of in his pages lively and entertaining.
