Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Marie-Antoinette: Her Early Youth (1770-1774) It has been said that a preface is no addition to a good book and no apology for a bad one. Nevertheless, some explanation seems inevitable. It cannot be too clearly understood that this work is not intended for those whose knowledge of the subject is as great as - or greater than - my own, but for the many who, taking a genuine interest in Marie-Antoinette and her surroundings, have neither leisure nor opportunity for seeking out and studying the best authorities. No translations or adaptations from French and German into English have been employed; therefore the responsibility is clear. At the same time some indulgence may be asked should errors transpire of a kind which in first reading the work of another I could not fail to perceive - in view of the quantities of material to be collected, studied, compared, and often rejected altogether, and the care that has been taken to ensure accuracy in trifling details. It was, I believe, about 1898 that permission was finally given by MM. Firmin-Didot of Paris, and by the representatives of the accomplished editors, to make a precis of, or to translate verbatim the three large volumes, with their valuable introduction and notes, which it had taken two erudite historians twelve years to piece together.
