"_Worse than a Crime_" (Vol. iv., p. 274.).--In reply to a question you
attribute the famous saying concerning the murder of the Duc D'Enghien
to Talleyrand.
If you will refer to p. 266. vol. i. of Fouché's _Memoirs_, 2nd edition,
1825, C. Knight, you will find that he claims the saying to himself:
"I was not the person who hesitated to express himself with the
least restraint respecting the violence against the rights of
nations and of humanity. 'It is more than a crime, it is a
political fault.' I said words which I record, because they have
been repeated and attributed to others."
