Toward the end of his life, the Chevalier de Seingalt (1725-1798) wrote a long memoir recounting his life and adventures. The Chevalier was a somewhat controversial figure, but since he met many famous people, including kings and writers, his memoir has become a valuable historical source about European society in the eighteenth century. However, some critics have raised doubts about the accuracy of the memoir. They claim that the Chevalier distorted or invented many events in the memoir to make his life seem more exciting and glamorous than it really was.

For example, in his memoir the Chevalier claims that while living in Switzerland, he was very wealthy, and it is known that he spent a great deal of money there on parties and gambling. However, evidence has recently surfaced that the Chevalier borrowed considerable sums of money from a Swiss merchant. Critics thus argue that if the Chevalier had really been very rich, he would not have needed to borrow money.

Critics are also skeptical about the accuracy of the conversations that the Chevalier records in the memoir between himself and the famous writer Voltaire. No one doubts that the Chevalier and Voltaire met and conversed. However, critics complain that the memoir cannot possibly capture these conversations accurately, because it was written many years after the conversations occurred. Critics point out that it is impossible to remember exact phrases from extended conversations held many years earlier.

Critics have also questioned the memoir's account of the Chevalier's escape from a notorious prison in Venice, Italy. He claims to have escaped the Venetian prison by using a piece of metal to make a hole in the ceiling and climbing through the roof. Critics claim that while such a daring escape makes for enjoyable reading, it is more likely that the Chevaliers jailers were bribed to free him. They point out that the Chevalier had a number of politically well-connected friends in Venice who could have offered a bribe.

The article and the lecturer are both about memoir of Chevalier's life and adventures. The author of reading feels that there are many doubts about the accuracy of the memoir. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. The lecturer thinks that there are no doubt about the memoir.

First of all, the author argues that Chevalier is poor. The article is mentioned that if Chevalier is rich ,no need to borrow money from Swiss merchant. This point is challenged by the lecturer. He claims spent hugr money for parties and gambling and he is rich man. Furthermore, he says he sell some property to get some money. So when ran out of cash, he borrow money while he was waiting for his money get it back.

Secondlly, the author suggests that doubt about the those conversations that Chevalier records.in the memoir. The article notes that impossibel to remember exact phrase from extended conversations held many years ealier. The lecturer rebuts this argument. He suggests that Chevalier wrote down everthings after each conversation with Voltaire. He elaborates on this by mentioning that witness who lived with Chevalier confirmed it.

Finally, the author states that Chevalier escaped from prison by bribed jailers. Moreover, the article says that he had more political well connected friends in Venice who could have offered a bride. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that Chevalier escaped from prison the celling of his old prison room. He notes that best evidence in Ventian goverment document indicate room had repaired after Chevalier had escaped.
