Brittany and Religion gave the author of the _Génie du Christianisme_ a magnificent funeral. For half a century, he has slept, beside the waves, in his granite sepulchre, under a stone surrounded by a little Gothic iron railing and surmounted by a cross. For the rest, no inscription, no name, no date. He had asked that this might be so, in his letter of 1831 to the Mayor of Saint-Malo: "The cross," he wrote, "will tell that the man resting at its feet was a Christian; that will be enough for my memory." APPENDIX IV THE TRANSLATOR'S SECOND NOTE When, eighteen months ago, I wrote my Note to the first volume of this version of the _Mémoires d'Outre-tombe_, I neglected to add to my list of omissions from the original work three several items which I have since felt justified in disregarding. My neglect must be ascribed to the fact that, at that time, the last volume of M. Biré's edition was not yet in my hands; and that these three items form the _Supplément à mes Mémoires_ which occurs at the end of the work and which had escaped my notice. The reader should, therefore, understand that, to the list of omissions on pages XV and XVI of Vol. I., must be added: 6. Chateaubriand's Life of his sister Julie de Chateaubriand, Comtesse de Farcy. This is extracted, for the most part, from the Abbé Carron's _Vie des justes dans les plus hauts rangs de la Société_ and in no way affects the interest of the Memoirs. 7. A very long letter addressed by the Comte de La Ferronnays, French Minister to Russia, to the Vicomte de Chateaubriand, Foreign Secretary, on the 14th of May 1824 and treating of contemporary politics. 8. The Genealogy of the Family of Chateaubriand, which fills 122 pages of the first edition and is not of sufficient general interest to be included in this translation. I can, however, refer the curious to the very full account of the Chateaubriand Family in M. René Kerviler's _Essai d'une bio-bibliographie de Chateaubriand et de sa famille_ (Vannes: 1895).
