Grace Dalrymple Elliott During the Reign of Terror

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The memoirs of Miss Elliott offer a twofold in terest: they show the attitude of the Duc d'or leans, philippe-egalite, during the course of the French Revolution, and they present a picture of the revolutionary prisons. This last picture is not always accurate. Miss Elliott has for the Duc, whose mistress she had been and whose friend she continued to be, an affectionate good-will: it would be childish to deny it, but making allowance for this good-will and the inaccuracies pointed out, these memoirs retain a genuine historical value.
