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 Chevalier’s 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 is about on the Chevalier de Seingalt’s wealthy life. He wrote a long memoir recounting his life and adventures. He was controversial person with extremely good connection with politician, writers etc. The article provides the three counter reason which has he noted down in his memoir. However, the professor explains that he was a wealthy person and support his adventures with certain proofs and refutes each of the author’s reasons.
First, the reading states claims that the Chevalier was not a wealthy person because he borrowed some amount of money from swish merchant in Switzerland. The professor refutes this point by saying that in Switzerland parties and gambling contains great cost. For getting cash purpose he borrowed some money from merchant.
Second, the article posist that the conversation between himself and famous writer Voltaire was not accurate. However, the professor says that, He remembered all tiny details regarding that conversation even it had long time.
Third, the reading says that his escape story is also fake. The professor opposes this point by explaining that government record proves that ceiling reparation work did after he was escaped. So, we learn that the memoir of the Chevalier de Seingalt is more accurate than this article.
