Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Marie Antoinette, Vol. 1 of 2 Having been commissioned by the "Revue des Questions Historiques," some years ago, to write a review of "The Correspondence of the Comte de Mercy with Maria Theresa" which had then just appeared, I made the following statement: - "The exact historical truth is to be found in these reports of Mercy, and is a mean between the mass of partisan assertions of Madame Campan, Weber, and Montjoye on the one hand, and the calumnies and coarse insinuations of Besenval, Lauzun, and Soulavie, on the other, - between the systematic aspersion of her enemies and the almost superstitious enthusiasm of her friends; somewhere between the libel and the legend, but on the whole nearer the legend. Marie Antoinette was not a sinner, neither was she a saint. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
