The last third of the volume consists of journal-like accounts of things from 1838 to 1875--of varying interest. His account of Napoleon's funeral in 1840 (when his body was returned from St. Helena) is extremely interesting, as are his account of the death of Louis-Phillipe's son, and of some of the trials he--Victor Hugo--participated in while in the House of Peers.
