M. de Nolhac is the keeper of the Versailles museum and writes out of the fulness of his historical information. “He has recorded in connexion with various portions of the palace the remarkable events they have witnessed, and in the course of this volume manages to tell the whole story of the locality.” (Sat. R.) “M. de Nolhac indicates, in a large and poetic description, how much artistic stimulus the place contains and will increasingly disengage as ‘the art of Versailles’ recedes into a softened perspective.” (Nation.)
“There is ample guaranty of the historical correctness of the information he imparts. He writes also with sympathy and enthusiasm.”
