Book excerpt: Excerpt from Madame Du Barry A sweet, ingenuous face, a graceful charm of form, and a kind heart, united to make little Jeanne Becu - a fille publique of unknown fatherhood - Comtesse Du Barry and a "left-hand queen of France." It is a strange tale, but the marvelous freaks of fortune were never more signally illustrated than in the historical deeds of Louis XV. of France and the experiences of this amiable waif, his favorite. Madame du Barry is often spoken of as "the profligate mistress of Louis XV." She certainly did dispense the riches of the King's treasury with lavish hand; but H. Noel Williams, in her thorough and conscientious researches into contemporary sources of information - memoirs, correspondence, journals, memoranda - and especially convinced by some more recent monographs upon Du Barry, by M. Charles Vatel, and the brothers De Goncourt - finds much to commend in her career. Without the wit of De Montespan, she was free also from the arrogance and superstition of that lady: not having the refined elegance of De Pompadour, she was also free from her predecessor's ambition to control and her vindictive pursuit of those who balked or offended her. Even the cynical Voltaire conceded that she was "a good-hearted woman." It is impossible to blink the irregularities and sordidness of the girl's early life in Paris.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Times of Madame Du Barry The ethics of comparative morality, or immorality, are not easy to understand. Why, it might be asked, arerthe virtuous English so tender towards the failings of Nell Gywn, whilst the French, who do not regard concubinage as at all a heinous offence, overload with obloquy the memory of Jeanne du barryp, In birth, in circumstances of early life, and in character, the two women closely resemble one another, yet the English general reader still preserves a kind of sneaking regard for the one, and has learned, at second hand, to detest the other.
