Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from During the Reign of Terror: Journal of My Life During the French Revolution The memoirs of Miss Elliott offer a twofold interest: they show the attitude of the Duc d´Orleans, Philippe-Egalite, during the course of the French Revolution, and they present a picture of the revolutionary prisons. This last picture is not always accurate. Miss Elliott has for the Duc, whose mistress she had been and whose friend she continued to be, an affectionate good-will: it would be childish to deny it, but making allowance for this good-will and the inaccuracies pointed out, these memoirs retain a genuine historical value... As stated in the preface to the first edition, it was the Prince of Wales who introduced Miss Elliott to the Duc d´Orleans. After a dissolute youth, the future Philippe-Egalite, had one day discovered that he was passionately fond of England.
