Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs; Duchesse De Gontaut, Vol. 1 of 2: Gouvernante to the Children of France During the Restoration, 1773-1836 The first years of my life were passed very much like those of every only child who is loved and petted by a tender mother, and rather spoiled by an aged father; mine denied me nothing, not even a carriage of my own when I was only twelve years old. I had a great many friends, and I was happy, very happy, in those youthful delights which we are apt to recall in after years with a sigh. At the age of seven Iwas presented for baptism by His Royal Highness (louis XVIII.) and Her Royal Highness the Comtesse de Provence in the chapel at Versailles. I wore on this occasion a grand habit and a grand panier. My excessive pride in this costume created great amusement in the apartments of the Queen, Marie Antoinette, where my mother took me after the ceremony. As my mother was a connection of the Duchesse de Polignac, she often took me to Versailles; there Iused to see Madame Royale, who was younger than I, and the poor little Dauphin, a lovely and delightful child.

Excerpt: ...sat down beside me, and speaking of the incident which had just occurred, seemed to feel hurt at the lesson, which he declared had been intended for him. I assured him that Baron de Damas' intention had been simply to warn the Duc de Bordeaux that the King would be waiting for him. He was reluctant to believe it, as I could see; it was a precious opportunity, and I seized it, and asked his permission to give him some proofs of the King's attachment to him. As the Duc d'Orleans seemed willing to listen to me, I said: "I am not going to preach, nor do I wish to bore Monseigneur, but simply to call his attention to some facts of which he may be ignorant, for the exact truth of which I can vouch. This, for instance: --1 This toy came from the shop of Giroux, who was just beginning to be fashionable then. "Monseigneur will remember that, having no stables at the Palais-Royal, he wished the King to let him have the use of one at the Louvre which was not needed? His Majesty, having heard of this, spoke of it to the Marquis de Vernon, one of the equerries, to whom he gave the order in these words: ' The Duc d'Orleans desires it, and I can quite understand it; it will be very convenient for him: you must see that he has it.' And it was then, I think, Monseigneur, that the stable was given to you." "Yes, I got it," he replied, " but I did not know that the King had had any special hand in the matter." "And you perhaps do not know the particulars of this affair even now, Monseigneur," I said, " and I must relate them to yoa The Dauphiness also had no stables, but had often asked for that one in the Louvre; when she heard that it had just been given to you, she reproached the King, though playfully, of course, saying that he had refused everything to...

Download or read book Wellington written by Rory Muir and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The leading Wellington historian’s fascinating reassessment of the Iron Duke’s most famous victory and his role in the turbulent politics after Waterloo. For Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington, his momentous victory over Napoleon was the culminating point of a brilliant military career. Yet Wellington’s achievements were far from over: he commanded the allied army of occupation in France to the end of 1818, returned home to a seat in Lord Liverpool’s cabinet, and became prime minister in 1828. He later served as a senior minister in Peel’s government and remained commander-in-chief of the army for a decade until his death in 1852. In this richly detailed work, the second and concluding volume of Rory Muir’s definitive biography, the author offers a substantial reassessment of Wellington’s significance as a politician and a nuanced view of the private man behind the legend of the selfless hero. Muir presents new insights into Wellington’s determination to keep peace at home and abroad, achieved by maintaining good relations with the Continental powers and resisting radical agitation while granting political equality to the Catholics in Ireland rather than risk civil war. And countering one-dimensional pictures of Wellington as a national hero, Muir paints a portrait of a well-rounded man whose austere demeanor on the public stage belied his entertaining, gossipy, generous, and unpretentious private self. “[An] authoritative and enjoyable conclusion to a two-part biography.” —Lawrence James, Times (London) “Muir conveys the military, political, social and personal sides of Wellington’s career with equal brilliance. This will be the leading work on the subject for decades.” —Andrew Roberts, author of Napoleon and Wellington: The Long Duel
