J'ai longtemps hésité à publier ce travail et, pendant plus d'une année, j'ai résisté aux pres santes sollicitations de bien des personnes, quelque pénible que fût pour moi la résistance à leurs conseils bienveillants.
Les circonstances ne sont plus les mêmes aujourd'hui, et je cède à des considérations dont il m'est impossible de méconnaître la valeur.

L'Allemagne Nouvelle, 1863-1867
Antoine Alfred Agénor Gramont (duc de)
E. Dentu, 1878
Antoine Alfred Agenor de Gramont, 10th Duc de Gramont, Prince de Bidache was a French diplomatist and statesman.
Background
Antoine Alfred Agenor de Gramont was born on the 14th of August 1819 at Paris. He was of one of the most illustrious families of the old noblesse, a cadet branch of the viscounts of Aure, which took its name from the seigniory of Gramont in Navarre. His grandfather, Antoine Louis Marie, due de Gramont (1755 - 1836), had emigrated during the Revolution, and his father, Antoine Heraclius Genevieve Agenor (1789 - 1855), due de Gramont and de Guiche, fought under the British flag in the Peninsular War, became a lieutenant- general in the French army in 1823, and in 1830 accompanied Charles X to Scotland.
Education
Gramont was educated at the École Polytechnique.
Career
Gramont early gave up the army for diplomacy. It was not, however, till after the coup d'etat of the 2nd of December 1851, which made Louis Napoleon supreme in France, that he became conspicuous as a diplomat. He was successively minister plenipotentiary at Cassel and Stuttgart (1852), at Turin (1853), ambassador at-Rome (1857) and at Vienna (1861). On the 15th of May 1870 he was appointed minister of foreign affairs in the Ollivier cabinet, and was thus largely, though not entirely, responsible for the bungling of the negotiations between France and Prussia arising out of the candidature of Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern for the throne of Spain, which led to the disastrous war of 1870-71. The exact share of Gramont in this responsibility has been the subject, of much controversy. The famous declaration read by Gramont in the Chamber on the 6th of July was the joint work of the whole cabinet; the original draft presented by Gramont was judged to be too "elliptical" in its conclusion and not sufficiently vigorous. So far, then, as this declaration is concerned, it is clear that Gramont's responsiblity must be shared with his sovereign and his colleagues. It was Gramont who pointed out to the emperor, on the evening of the 12th, the dubious circumstances of the act of renunciation, and on the same night despatched to Benedetti at Ems the fatal telegram demanding the king of Prussia's guarantee that the candidature would not be revived. The supreme responsibility for this act must rest with the emperor, who imposed it by an exercise of personal power on the only one of his ministers who could have lent himself to such a forgetfulness of the safeguards of a parliamentary regime. After the defeat of Weissenburg (August 4) Gramont resigned office with the rest of the Ollivier ministry (August 9), and after the revolution of September he went to England, returning after the war to Paris. During his retirement he published various apologies for his policy in 1870, notably La France et la Prusse avant la guerre (Paris, 1872).
