III. Memoirs of Mademoiselle des Écherolles. Translated from the French by Marie Clothilde Balfour. With an Introduction, Portraits, etc.

These “Side Lights on the Reign of Terror” were originally published under the title of “Some Years of My Life”; and M. de Lamartine, who consulted them when writing his “Histoire des Girondins,” expressed himself as delighted with the work, and declared he had never met with one so interesting. There is contained in Mdlle. des Écherolles’ pages a vivid and touching account of the privations of those so remorselessly pursued by tyrants, to whom the name of “the people” was a means that enabled them to satisfy their hatreds and desires for vengeance.

IV. Memoirs of Lady Fanshawe, Wife of the Right Hon. Sir Roland Fanshawe, Bart., Ambassador from Charles the Second to the Court of Madrid. Written by Herself. To which are added Extracts from the Correspondence of Sir Richard Fanshawe. A New Edition. Edited, with an Introduction, by Beatrice Marshall. With New Portraits, Illustrations, etc.
