Book Description

Excerpt from Memoirs of Her Late Royal Highness Charlotte Augusta, Princess of Wales, Etc. (From Infancy to the Period of Her Much Lamented Death, Funeral Rites, Etc., Etc.) And of Her Illustrious Consort Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg Saalfeld: Including a Variety of Anecdotes, Hitherto Unpublished, With Specimens of Her Royal Highness' Compositions in Prose, Poetry, and Music, and Fac-Similes of Her Hand-Writing; Comprising Also an Historical Memoir of the House of Saxe-Coburg Saalfeld The mean and insidious attempts which have been made by disappointed individuals to call in question the suthen ticity of these memorrs, for the purpose of palming upon the, public a crude and undigested work of their own, have throughout been met, on our part, with that contempt which they deserve. The distinguished patronage and sup port of an enlightened public have accompanied us through our arduous undertaking; animated by their confidence, difficulties apparently insuperable have been overcome, and whilst displaying for the benefit of posterity, one of the brightest examples of female excellence and virtue, the interests of the country in a political sense, have not been overlooked. We wish only to be tried by the test of excel lence - the only Test which merit ever seeks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
