A QUEEN OF INDISCRETIONS.
The Tragedy of Caroline of Brunswick, Queen of England. From the Italian of G. P. CLERICI. Translated by FREDERIC CHAPMAN. With numerous Illustrations reproduced from contemporary Portraits and Prints. Demy 8vo. 21s. net.
The Daily Telegraph.—“It could scarcely be done more thoroughly or, on the whole, in better taste than is here displayed by Professor Clerici. Mr. Frederic Chapman himself contributes an uncommonly interesting and well-informed introduction.”
Westminster Gazette.—“The volume, scholarly and well-informed ... forms one long and absorbingly interesting chapter of the chronique scandaleuse of Court life ... reads like a romance, except that no romancer would care or dare to pack his pages so closely with startling effects and fantastic scenes.”
The Times.—“Signor Clerici has brought to his task immense pains, lucidity, and an impartiality of mind which does not prevent a definite view from emerging. Mr. Chapman has done the translation admirably well, and his own introduction is a careful assistance to thoroughness.”
Academy.—“Caroline’s life was an astounding romance, ... Mr. Chapman especially lends colour to her adventures in his clever introduction by the way in which he shows how, for all her genius for mischief, and for all her tricks and wantonness, Caroline never lost a curious charm which made her buoyancy and reckless spirit lovable to the last.”
