Since the story here offered to the public first appeared in the French language, an added importance has been given to the historical incidents which it presents, by events of more recent date. The marriage between the royal houses of England and Denmark of the last century is recalled with a new interest, in connection with the similar, but more auspicious event of our own times. The career of Struensee can hardly fail to suggest that of a minister equally despotic of the present day. Yet there is in reality less of resemblance than of contrast between the usurper of sovereign power in Denmark and the unscrupulous statesman who is now permitted by Prussia to encroach so largely upon the liberties of the people.
