Life of Marie Antoinette

NOTE: THIS IS a DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK. Judgment and prudence were not the qualities most naturally to be expected in a young princess not yet fifteen years old. the best prospect which Marie Antoinette had of surmounting the numerous and varied difficulties which beset her lay in the affection which she speedily conceived for her husband, and in the sincerity, we can hardly say warmth, with which he returned her love. Maria Teresa had bespoken his tenderness for her in a letter which she wrote to him on the day on which her daughter left Vienna, and which has often been quoted as a composition worthy of her alike as a mother and as a Christian sovereign.Yonge, Charles Duke is the author of 'Life of Marie Antoinette', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419269745 and ISBN 1419269747.
