** This book, which appeared anonymously in 1838, created an enormous sensation, 

 and was fiercely criticised by Thackeray and in the Reviews of the time. There is no 

 doubt that it was founded on the diary of Lady Charlotte Bury, daughter of the *,th Duke 

 of Argyll, and Lady-in-Waiting to the unfortunate Caroline of Brunswick, when 

 Princess of Wales. It deals, therefore, with the curious Court of the latter and with the 

 scandals that occurred there, as well as with the strange vagaries of the Princess abroad. 

 In this edition names left blank in the original have been (where possible) filled up, and 

 many notes are given by the Editor to render it useful to the ever-increasing number of 

 readers interesttd in the later Georgian Period. 



THE DAUGHTER OF LOUIS XVI.: Marie- 



Therese-Charlotte of France, Duchesse D'Angouleme. By G. 

 LENOTRE. With 1 3 Full-page Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 

 los. 6d. net. 



** M. G. Lenotre is perhaps the most widely read of a group of modern French writers 

 who have succeeded in treating- history from a point of view at once scientific, dramatic 

 and popular, He has made the Revolution his particular field of research, and deals not 

 only with the most prominent figures of that period, but with many minor characters 

 whose life-stories are quite as thrilling as anything in fiction. The localities in which 

 these dramas were enacted are vividly brought before us in his works, for no one has 

 reconstructed \"&th century Paris with more picturesque and accurate detail. " The 

 Daughter of Louis XVI." is quite equal in interest and literary merit to any of the 

 volumes which have preceded it, not excepting the famous Drama of Varennes. As usual, 

 M. Lenotre draws his material largely from contemporary documents, and among the 

 most remarkable memoirs reproduced in this book are " The Story of -my Visit to the 

 Temple " by Hannand de la Meuse, and the artless, but profoundly touching narrative of 

 the unhappy orphaned Princess: "A manuscript written by Marie There'se Charlotte 

 of France upon the captivity of the Princes and Princesses, her relatives, imprisoned in 

 the Temple." The illustrations are a feature of the volume and include the so-called 

 " telescope" portrait of the Princess, sketched from life by an anonymous artist, stationed 

 at a window opposite her prison in the tower of the Temple. 



THE TRUE STORY OF MY LIFE : an Auto-

Daily Chronicle. " This work . . . has the introspective touch, intimate and revealing, 

 which autobiography, if it is to be worth anything, should have. Mrs. Diehl's pages have 

 reality, a living throb, and so are indeed autobiography."
