Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England, From the Norman Conquest, Vol. 10 of 16 The following graphic portrait, drawn by her friend madame de Motteville, gives a faithful description of queen Henrietta, both in person and mind; and it must be re membered that the study was from life, and the result of familiar acquaintance I found this once lovely queen very ill, and much changed, being meagre and shrunk to a shadow. Her mouth, which naturally was the worst feature of her face, had become too large; even her form seemed marred. She still had beautiful eyes, a charming com plexion, a nose finely formed, and something in her ex pression so spirituelle and agreeable that it commanded the love of every one; she had, withal, great wit and a brilliant mind, which delighted all her auditors. She was not above being agreeable in society, and was, at the same time, sweet, sincere, easy, and accessible, living with those who had the honor of her intimacy without form or ceremony. Her temper was by nature gay and cheerful. Often, when her tears were streaming while she narrated her troubles, the reminiscence of some ridiculous adventure would occur, and she would make all the company laugh by her wit and lively description before her own eyes were dry. To me her con versation usually took a solid tone; her grief and deep feel ing made her look on this life and the pride of it in a true light, which rendered her far more estimable than she would have been bad sorrow never touched her. She was naturally a most generous character: those who knew her in her prosperity assured me, that her hand was most bounteous as long as she had aught to give. Such is the sketch drawn by Henrietta's most intimate friend, who was at the same time one of the most virtuous, the most aecom plished and learned of her countrywomen. The French people, not yet agitated by the insurgency of the civil war of the Fronde, paid the most affectionate at tention to Henrietta, regarding her as the daughter, sister.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England, From the Norman Conquest, Vol. 12 of 16 James himself frankly acknowledged that he had never known what true happiness was till, rendered wise by many sorrows, he had learned fully to appreciate the virtues and self-devotion of his queen. He now regarded her not only with love, but veneration, and made it the principal busi ness of his life to atone to her, by the tenderest attentions, for the pangs his former follies had inflicted on her sensi tive heart. He knew that, possessed of her, he was an object of envy to his cousin, Louis XIV., and was accus tomed to say that, like Jacob, he counted his sufferings for nothing, having such a support and companion in them. 1 Blessed in this perfect union, the king and queen endeavored to resign themselves to the will of God, whose hand they both recognized in their present reverse of fortune.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England, From the Norman Conquest, Vol. 15 of 16 Away with these childish wranglings with the unalter able past! Facts regarding the queenly sisters, both of Tudor and of Stuart, remain extant, defying all attempts to stifle them, guarded in manuscript among our archives, or those of France. Incidents may be told maliciously or apologetically; in both cases the author's comment may stand in absurd contradiction to quoted authority, but these deviations from the majestic simplicity of recti tude will have the consequence of disgusting the public, and will ever render a narrative unreadable. Can a more absurd spectacle exist than when the comments of writers appear at Open war with the facts they have just cited from documents?
