MEMOIRS
OF THE
QUEENS OF FRANCE,
BY MRS. FORBES BUSH.
FROM THE SECOND LONDON EDITION.
In Two Volumes 12mo., with Portraits, $2.
"Mrs. Forbes Bush is a graceful writer, and in the work before us has selected the prominent features in the lives of the Queens with a great deal of judgement and discrimination. These memoirs will be found not only peculiarly interesting, but also instructive, as throwing considerable light upon the manners and customs of past ages."—Western Continent.
"We have looked over the lives of some of the Queens, presented in Mr. A. Hart's new volumes, with great interest. While none are devoid of some degree of attraction, the most of them have a charm about their person or character exceeding any thing we find in the most popular romances. They are full of sentiment and romance, rendered all the more touching from the graceful drapery in which they are adorned, and by the truthfulness of which the reader is strongly impressed. It is of course doubly attractive, in reading the strongly marked characters of history, to feel a conviction of the truth, with which ever the wildest and most thrilling incidents are invested. The Lives of these fair ladies are full of instruction, a merit that mere romance seldom possesses. The Author, Mrs. Forbes Bush, commences with Queen Basine, in the reign of Childeric I., or about four hundred years after the commencement of the Christian era. The volumes close with the late Queen of the French, Marie Amelie."—Saturday Courier.
