Secret Memoirs of Princess Lamballe - Being Her Journals, Letters and Conversations During Her Confidential Relations With Marie Antoinette #230162

How the Princess's journal came to light is narrated in the following pages. It is edited and annotated, in a liberal sense of those terms, by the lady who, in her youth, was the confidential secretary and messenger, in fact a diplomatic maid-of-all-work, of the Princess. From the copious diary of the latter, supplemented by the graphic and elaborate additions and comments of the brillantly gifted editor, to whose care the diary was in trusted, we get a most impressive realization of the life endured by Louis XVI. And Marie Antoinette in those appalling years of doom.
