Excerpt from Memoirs of General Pépé, Vol. 1 of 3: Comprising the Principal Military and Political Events of Modern Italy Th humiliating servitude under which Italy groans, rendered more intolerable by the remembrance of her former greatness, was the original motive (which stirred within me while yet a child, ) of my persevering though unfortunate patriotism, and when, in consequence of political vicissitudes, I could no longer bear arms in my country's cause, I was impelled by the love with which she has ever animated me to commit to writing the events of my life. I was also stimulated to write my Memoirs by a desire to refute the calumnies which have been circulated against the South of Italy by foreigners through ignorance, and by some wretched sons of that land, who defamed her, in order that they might the better conceal their own errors.
