Excerpt from Life of Prince Metternich Revolution was then in its early initiatory stages. From that moment, he writes, I was its closest observer, and subsequently became its adversary; and so I have ever remained. At Mayence, Metternich divided his time between his studies, and a society of which he writes, that it was as distinguished for intellectual superiority as for the social position of its members. This society was composed mainly of French emigrants of the higher classes, whose exile was voluntary. Association with them confirmed the hatred Of the Revolution previously imbibed. He evidently regarded these emigrants as the true representatives of the French nation, for he writes of them: In this way also I came to know the French; I learned to understand them, and to be understood by them. From Mayence, Metternich was summoned, in 1792, to proceed to Frankfort to attend the coronation of the Emperor Francis, who had been elected successor to his brother Leopold. Again was be selected to perform the same ceremonious offices as had been entrusted to him on the previous occasion, and again did he improve his acquaintance with the frequenters of the courtly circle. Amongst these he notes especially Prince Auton Ester hazy, the principal ambassador of the Emperor and the Princess Louise of Mecklenburg, afterwards Queen of Prussia. This illustrious lady, mother Of the late Emperor of Germany, was two years younger than Metternich, but he had known her from childhood, for her grandmother, by whom she had been brought up at Darmstadt, had been on intimate terms with his mother.
