Toward the end of his life, the Chevalier de Seingalt (1725−1798) wrote a long memoir recounting hislife and adventures. The Chevalier was a somewhat controversial figure, but since he met many famouspeople, including kings and writers, his memoir has b

The Lecture and the reading are both discussing about the Chevalier's memoir for his life and adventure. The reading states that Critics raised a doubt on memoir and provides three reasons of support. The lecture refutes this by saying that memoir is pretty accurate and provides the reliable historical resources.

First of all, The reading claims that Chevalier provided wrong information about his life in memoir just to make memoir very exciting. The lecture refutes this point by stating that no memoir is 100% accurate. The lecture gives that example of his Switzerland trip where chevalier went for the parties and gamble. Chevalier had so much wealth like properties which takes time to sell and get money. He rain out of the cash and that's why he had o take some loan from the friends.

In addition, the reading states that Accuracy of conversation between him and writer is also questionable. The lecture argues that Chevalier kept the notes for many years for the memory and some notes wore off. The lecture also explains that one witness confirmed about the composition and writing of the memoir that written by chevalier.

Lastly, the reading passage mentions that As per memoir, chevalier escaped from the prison is not true, he came out with the connections of his friends. The lecture counters this argument by stating that Bribes is nearly impossible on those days. The professor explains that many people in the prison has more powerful connections than chevalier, still they could not come out. Also according to old Venetian government documentary reports that they had to repair the ceiling at some point, that clearly suggest that chevalier definitely escaped through the prison by breaking the ceiling.

In conclusion, the lecture provides very strong supportive arguments for the memoir accuracy.
