Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Courts of Europe at the Close of the Last Century, Vol. 2 of 2 It is supposed the Duke of Rutland and Mr. Pitt are both favourable to the Catholics. The latter is said to be religiously inclined. A person in office told Wraxall an anecdote which he thought illustrative of the different ministers. When, in 1783, some concession from Russia arrived, which was very unexpected, but about which they were extremely anxious, (i believe some assistance the empress agreed to give with regard to her fieet, ) this person had to deliver the intelligence. On hearing it, Pitt's exclamation was, Thank God! Rose said, No, has she indeed! And Lord Caermarthen, The devil she has! Lord George Gordon has been about, trying to excite riots, and is outlawed from the parish of Marylebone.

This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secret Memoirs of the Courts of Europe, Vol. 1 of 2 The essential qualifications for an author of such a work as the present are an actual acquaintance with the persons mentioned, an intimate knowledge of their daily lives, and a personal familiarity with the scenes described. The author of William II. and Francis-Joseph, sheltered under the nom de plume of Marquise de Fontenoy, is a lady of distinguished birth and title. Her work consists largely of personal reminiscences, and descriptions of events with which she Is perfectly familiar; a sort of panoramic view of the characteristic happenings and striking features of court life, such as will best give a true picture of persons and their conduct. There has been no attempt to trammel the subject, - which embraces religious, official, social and domestic life, - by following a strictly sequential form in the narrative, but the writer's aim has been to present her facts in a familiar way, impressing them with characteristic naturalness and lifelike reality. To this task the author has brought the habits of a watchful observer, the candor of a conscientious narrator, and the refinement of a writer who respects her subject. Hence she presents a true, vivid and interesting picture of court life in Germany and Austria. If such merely sensational, and too often fictitious, unsavory tales as crowd tile so-called court narratives expressly concocted for the "society" columns of the periodical press are not the most prominent features of the present work, it is because they receive only a truthful recognition and place in its pages.

Still she would not, she said, continue, after the funeral, to reside in France. This horrible crime had made it hateful to her, and she must entreat the king not to oppose her return to Sicily. She was reminded that it was her duty to remain in France; and the words of the late duke were repeated to her, Live, my Caroline, live for the sake of our unborn child, faintly murmured as life was ebbing away, and while she, in the agony of her mind that she could not hold back the beloved one from the grasp of death, was protest ing that she would die with him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secret Memoirs of the Courts of Europe Vol-1, Vol. 1 of 2 Her beauty was for the King, her sarcasm for his courtiers. Perhaps little of this latter quality appears in the pages bequeathed to us, written, as they are, in a somewhat cold, formal style, and we may assume that her much - dreaded irony resided in her tongue rather than in her pen. Yet we are glad to possess these pages, if only as a reliable record of Court life during the brightest period of the reign of Louis Quatorze. As we have hinted, they are more, indeed, than this. For if we look closer we shall perceive, as in a glass, darkly, the contour of a subtle, even a perplex ing, personality.
