Boigne] Memoirs of the Comtesse de Boigne (volumes 2 and 3 of 3 only). ODD VOLUMES. NY; Scribners, 1907. Approx. 400 pp per vol. These volumes cover 1815-1830. Charlotte Louise Eleonore Adelaide d'Osmond, Comtesse de Boigne (1781-1866) spent her childhood among members of the court of Louis XVI at Versailles. At the outbreak of the French Revolution her family fled France and she was educated in England; she also spent time at the court of Naples and was a friend of Princess Marie Amelie of Naples, who later would be Queen of France as the wife of King Louis-Philippe. In Paris she was a well-known society hostess and leader of a salon. Her memoirs describe court life at prerevolutionary Versailles, high society in England, life among the emigres during the Revolution, the court of Napoleon and Josephine, and the court and high society of the Restoration. She describes many of the famous personalities of the period, including unflattering portraits of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

Oxford; Berg, 1993. 169 pp. "This book offers a study of the presentation of social reality in France during the final years of the ancien regime and the Revolution.
