Unknown Author

4.9/5 (28888 ratings)

Description:Introductory Note:In offering to the public an English version of Monsieur Georges Berlin's "Madame de Lamballe," I feel that the title alone will arouse interest.The life of Madame de Lamballe is well known. The story of her intimacy with Marie Antoinette, and of her unceasing devotion to the royal family, is one of the most interesting and pathetic chapters in the history of the French Revolution.The present volume is largely made up of unpublished documents and of articles taken from the newspapers of that day. The French, therefore, from a literary standpoint, is often open to criticism. Although I have kept as closely as possible to the original, I have been obliged, in some places, to deviate slightly, in order to conform to the English idiom.For historical references I have consulted Taine's "Ancien Regime," Morris's "French Revolution," Carlyle's "French Revolution," Guizot's "History of France," Madame de Campan, and "Secret Memoirs of the Royal Family of France," first published from the journal, letters, and conversations of the Princesse de Lamballe, and brought out in Philadelphia in 1826. I should like to avail myself of this opportunity to extend my thanks for the valuable suggestions made to me in regard to the present work.Arabella Ward.
