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.

This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cinq-Mars or a Conspiracy Under Louis XIII, Vol. 2 of 2 We shall avail ourselves of the same privilege, though without the same genius. N 0 more than he will we seat ourselves upon the tripod of the unities, but merely cast ing our eyes upon Paris and the old dark palace of the Louvre, we will at once pass over the space of two hun dred leagues and the period of two years. Two years! What changes may they not have upon men, upon their families, and above all in that great and so troublous family of nations, whose long alliances a single day suffices to destroy, whose wars are ended by a birth, whose peace is broken by a death! We ourselves have beheld kings returning to their dwell ing on a spring day; that same day a vessel sailed for a voyage of two years. The navigator returned. The kings were seated upon their thrones; nothing seemed to have taken place in his absence, and yet God had deprived those kings of a hundred days of their reign. But nothing was changed for France in 1642, the epoch to which we turn, except her fears and her hopes. The future alone had changed its aspect. Before again beholding our personages, we must contemplate at large the state of the kingdom. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Louis the Fourteenth, and the Court of France in the Seventeenth Century, Vol. 2 of 2 The favour of his new mistress became more assured from day to day; the fascinations of her wit, the gorgeousness of her beauty, and even the exactions of her capricious vanity, all rendered her triumph more complete; and meanwhile La Valliere could no longer conceal even from herself that her days of happiness were at an end. Among her other expensive tastes, the new favourite had a most inordinate passion for jewels. While yet a girl she had delighted in diamonds and precious stones; and the generosity of the king upon this point was so unmeasured that, after her disgrace, she herself declared that she possessed a collection worthy of an Asiatic prince; and that even were she to be deprived of the whole of her fortune save her pearls and diamonds, she could Still command opulence. This taste was shared by Louis XIV., who in his private cabinet had two immense pedestals of rosewood, fitted in the interior with shifting shelves, in which he kept the most precious of the crown jewels, in order that he might examine and admire them at his ease, an occupation in which he took great delight; nor did he ever hear of a gem of price, either in Asia or Europe, without making strenuous efforts to secure the prize.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Louis the Fourteenth, the Court of France, Vol. 4: In the Seventeenth Century An ironical smile played about the lips of Anne of Austria, as she remarked that the overmerciful policy lately adopted by his Eminence might, perhaps, fail to produce the effect which he appeared to anticipate; and that he would do well to reflect upon the nature of the advice which his niece was accustomed to bestow upon the King; and the great probability there existed that, if it were allowed time to work, it would soon emancipate Louis altogether from the authority of both his mother and his Minister.
