Private Anecdotes of Foreign Courts, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) by Govion Broglio Solari (Paperback / softback, 2015)

Excerpt from Private Anecdotes of Foreign Courts, Vol. 1 of 2 Memoir-writing is a part of history longer confined to France. The Marchioness de S, herself an Englishwoman, to whom we are indebted for a considerable quantity of the anecdotes contained in the following Volumes, has shown in her former work, Memoirs of the Princesse de Lamballe, that she can relate Courtly Anecdotes with all the grace, spirit, and piquancy of the French writers of Memoires; and that production at once proved the facilities she enjoyed of obtaining the most secret anecdotes of the highest personages, and showed the familiar and confidential intercourse which their condescension permitted between themselves and the Authoress.
