This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Louis the Fourteenth and the Court of France in the Seventeenth Century, Vol. 1 The reign of Louis XIV. of France, whether regarded politically, socially, or morally, was undoubtedly the most striking which that country has ever known. The magnificence of his Court, the successes of his armies, and the number of illustrious names that embellished the century over which his rule extended, drew the attention of all Europe to the person of the monarch who had relieved the nation from the thrall to which it had so long been subjected by the domination of a grasping and imperious minister, and assumed the authority and power of regality, as well as its mere visible attributes. Louis XIV. was kingly from his birth. Even when deprived, by the penuriousness of Mazarin, not only of the luxuries which were his birthright, but even of the very necessaries which nine-tenths of his subjects could command at will, his spirit remained unbent; while his innate sense of the indignity offered to his person engendered a feeling of hatred towards the Cardinal, which enabled him patiently to await the hour of his emancipation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women of Versailles: The Court of Louis XIV Rarely has a city presented a spectacle so striking as that afforded by Versailles during the struggle of the army against the Commune. Between the grand century and our epoch, between the majesty of old France and the intestine broils of new France, between the dismal horrors of which Paris was the scene and the radiant souvenirs of the city of the Sun-King, there was a contrast as painful as it was startling. Those avenues where one might see the head of the government and the illustrious defeated man of Reichshoffen, that place of arms encumbered with cannons, those red flags, sad trophies of the civil war, which were taken to the Assembly as tokens of mourning as well as of victory, that magnificent palace whence seemed to issue a suppliant voice adjuring our soldiers to save so fair a heritage of historic splendors and national grandeurs, all filled the soul with profound emotion.

Download or read book The Great Days of Versailles written by G. F. Bradby and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Days of Versailles: Studies From Court Life in the Later Years of Louis XIV The following pages do not profess to be history; still less do they pretend to throw any new light upon a period which is already so exhaustively known through its memoirs and its letters. All that I have attempted to do is to reconstruct from familiar materials a picture of Court life at Versailles in the later years of Louis XIV - the manners, customs, and interests of a unique society which has no counterpart in modern Europe - and to give a brief account of the private life and character of some of the people who figured most prominently in the events of the time. My hope is that such a compilation may be of use to those who intend to study the French eighteenth-century memoirs, by making them familiar with some of the personal questions which counted for so much at the French Court; and, also, that it may not be without interest for that large class of people who have neither time nor opportunity to study the period in detail, and who are forced to be content with the summaries of others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Louis XIV WE all live a double life: the external life. Which the world sees, and the internal life of hopes and fears, joys and griefs, temptations and sins, which the world sees not, and of which it knows but little. None lead this double life more emphatically than those who are seated upon thrones. Though this historic sketch contains allu sions to all the most important events in the reign of Louis XIV., it has been the main ob jcet of the writer to develop the inner life of the palace; to lead the reader into the interior of the Louvre, the Tuileries, Versailles, and Marly, and to exhibit the monarch as a man, in the details of domestic privacy. This can more easily be done in reference to Louis XIV. Than any other king. Very many of the prominent members of his house hold left their autobiographies, filled with the minutest incidents of every-day life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Court and Society, Vol. 1 of 2: Reign of Louis XVI. And First Empire "Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown." Such was the text of the last Lenten sermon preached in 1774 before Louis XV. at Versailles. Truly, the mantle of a Bourdaloue, Flechier, or Massillon, had not falle on any of the court preachers of that day. Rarely, very rarely, was then heard the stirring pulpit eloquence which, during the former reign, and in the earlier years of that of Louis XV., so often awakened terror in the accusing conscience of the king, and thrilled with fear and trembling - passing though the emotion may have been - the fashionable assemblages of courtly sinners who thronged the gilded chapel of Versailles. The philosophy of the salons had invaded the pulpit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
