Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Comtesse De Boigne: 1787-1814 The Comtesse de Boigne, née Charlotte Louise Eléonore Adelaide d´Osmond, "had for her own name [to use her own expression] a passion which finds no counterpart in this age." This sentiment, which she has depicted as dominant in the heroine of a novel which appeared in the year of her death, was paramount throughout the life of Mme. de Boigne, and inspired her last wishes. As she had no children, from her many nephews and nieces she chose as her general heir her grand-nephew Osmond, the future Marquis d´Osmond, with whom, against all human foresight, became extinct this illustrious family name, the arms of which appear in the Salle des Croisades at Versailles. He was ten years of age when his great-aunt died in 1866, at the age of eighty-five. In accordance with her will, when he attained his twenty-fifth year, in the month of August 1881, he came into possession of a fortune which had been considerably increased by the wise and prudent administration of faithful executors. I was at that time his most intimate friend, and we had numerous interests in common. Together we made an inventory of the legacy of Mme. de Boigne. Among a number of valuable objects of art, dispersed in a famous sale in 1884, we found a certain number of family papers and some memoirs in manuscript. Our first idea was to publish them in common.
