These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Memoirs of Louis XIV. - His Court and The Regency - Complete: Upon his return to Court, taking up apartments which the royal favour had reserved for him at Versailles, Saint-Simon secretly entered upon the self-appointed task for which he is now known to fame-a task which the proud King of a vainglorious Court would have lost no time in terminating had it been discovered-the task of judge, spy, critic, portraitist, and historian, rolled into one. ...I will not dwell upon these two documents, in which nothing is provided but the grandeur and the power of the bastards, Madame de Maintenon and Saint-Cyr, the choice of the King's education and of the council of the regency, by which M. le Duc d'Orleans was to be shorn of all authority to the advantage of M. le Duc du Maine. ...The reading being finished, that prince spoke, casting his eyes upon all the assembly, uncovering himself, and then covering himself again, and commencing by a word of praise and of regret for the late King; afterwards raising his voice, he declared that he had only to approve everything just read respecting the education of the King, and everything respecting an establishment so fine and so useful as that of Saint-Cyr; that with respect to the dispositions concerning the government of the state, he would speak separately of those in the will and those in the codicil; that he could with difficulty harmonise them with the assurances the King, during the last days of his life, had given him; that the King could not have understood the importance of what he had been made to do for the Duc du Maine since the council of the regency was chosen, and M. du Maine's authority so established by the will, that the Regent remained almost without power; that this injury done to the rights of his birth, to his attachment to the person of the King, to his love and fidelity for the state, could not be endured if he was to preserve his honour; and that he hoped sufficiently from the esteem of all present, to persuade himself that his regency would be declared as it ought to be, that is to say, complete, independent, and that he should be allowed to choose his own council, with the members of which he would not discuss public affairs, unless they were persons who, being approved by the public, might also have his confidence. ...I represented to the Regent what an ill-chosen messenger I should be to carry to Madame la Duchesse d'Orleans news of the disgrace of her brother the Duc du Maine; I, who had always been such an open and declared enemy to the bastards! ...The scheme was nothing less than to throw all the realm into revolt against the government of M. le Duc d'Orleans; to put the King of Spain at the head of the affairs of France, with a council and ministers named by him, and a lieutenant, who would in fact have been regent; this self-same lieutenant to be no other than the Duc du Maine!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secret Memoirs of the Court of Louis XIV: And of the Regency, Extracted From the German Correspondence of the Duchess of Orleans, Mother of the Regent A great many passages of the original correspondence were omitted; while, to make up for the deficiencies, the editor inserted a quantity of pedantic and useless notes. In spite of all these faults, and the existence of more faithful editions, this translation was reprinted in 1807 The existence of any other edition being unknown to its editor, it differed in nothing from the preceding, except that the dates of some of the letters were suppressed, a part of the notes cut out, and some passages added, from the Memoirs of Saint Simon; together with a life, or rather panegyric of the Princess, which bore no slight resemblance to a village homily. A copy of the extracts, made by M. de Praun, fell by some chance into the hands of Count de Veltheim, under whose direction they were published at Strasburgh in 1789, with no other alterations than the correction of the obsolete and vicious orthography of the Princess. In 1789 a work was published at Dantzick, in Germany, entitled, Confessions of the Princess Elizabeth Charlotte of Orleans, extracted from her letters, addressed, between the years 1702 and 1722, to her former governess, Madame de Harling, and her husband. The editor asserts, that this correspondence amounted to nearly four hundred letters. A great part of these are only repetitions of what she had before written to the Princess of Wales and the Duke of Brunswick.
