Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Court Beauties of Old Whitehall: Historiettes of the Restoration If we may believe so eminent an authority as M. Emile Bourgeois, whose "Le Grand Siècle," is a fascinating proof of his statement, "the age we live in delights in inquiry into the private lives of the great and into the spirit of society of the past. It loves to interrogate them directly, so that it may get at the secrets of their passions and find out their state of mind at different periods. This curiosity is not culpable. ´It almost ceases to be curiosity,´ said Voltaire, ´when it has epochs and men who attract the gaze of posterity for its object."´ Such an epoch in English history is par excellence the Restoration. It is a subject on which an immense number of books has been written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
