He said, or is alleged to have said, ""The two attempts which placed me in the greatest danger were those of the sculptor Ceracchi and of the fanatic of Schoenbrun.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
