Book Description

Excerpt from Old Court Life in France, Vol. 1 I have taken special pleasure in the production of this new edition of Old Court Life in France, which was first published in America some twenty years ago, and which is, I trust, now entering into a new lease of life. That the same cordial welcome may follow the present edition, which was accorded to the first, is my anxious hope. A new generation has appeared, which may, I trust, find itself interested in the stirring scenes I have delineated with so much care, that they might be strictly historical, as well as locally correct.
