Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secret Memoirs of the Court of Louis XIV: And of the Regency, Extracted From the German Correspondence of the Duchess of Orleans, Mother of the Regent A great many passages of the original correspondence were omitted; while, to make up for the deficiencies, the editor inserted a quantity of pedantic and useless notes. In spite of all these faults, and the existence of more faithful editions, this translation was reprinted in 1807 The existence of any other edition being unknown to its editor, it differed in nothing from the preceding, except that the dates of some of the letters were suppressed, a part of the notes cut out, and some passages added, from the Memoirs of Saint Simon; together with a life, or rather panegyric of the Princess, which bore no slight resemblance to a village homily. A copy of the extracts, made by M. de Praun, fell by some chance into the hands of Count de Veltheim, under whose direction they were published at Strasburgh in 1789, with no other alterations than the correction of the obsolete and vicious orthography of the Princess. In 1789 a work was published at Dantzick, in Germany, entitled, Confessions of the Princess Elizabeth Charlotte of Orleans, extracted from her letters, addressed, between the years 1702 and 1722, to her former governess, Madame de Harling, and her husband. The editor asserts, that this correspondence amounted to nearly four hundred letters. A great part of these are only repetitions of what she had before written to the Princess of Wales and the Duke of Brunswick.
