Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Court of France, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Year 1684 to the Year 1720
The reign of Louis XIV. may perhaps be ranked the first in modern history, from the importance of the events which occurred during the life of that Monarch; events whose consequences still continue to influence the affairs of Europe. General, however, as is the interest raised by the history of those times - to England in particular, it must present an ample field for deep and serious reflection. The revocation of the Edict of Nantes, the dragoonings, the asylum granted by the King of France to the exile James II., and the victories of Marlborough, are events too intimately connected with the best interests of a Protestant country, to be passed over with careless indifference.
