Excerpt from Margaret of Scotland the Dauphin Louis: An Historical Study Based Mainly on Original Documents Preserved in the Bibliotheque NationaleOf no less importance, and of even greater general interest, is the account which one of the French ambassadors to Scot land has left of his journey and of his mission. This narra tive, which is preserved in the Bibliotheque nationale, has never been published.The Bibliotheque nationale also possesses the sworn testi mony of the witnesses who were called upon to give evidence with regard to the circumstances attending the death of the Dauphiness. Portions of it were printed by Duclos, in his Histoire de Louis X], a work which appeared in the first half of the eighteenth century and which is not easily accessible in this country. To obtain a complete report of the enquiry, a copy of the depositions omitted by him has been procured. The documents belonging to each of those three classes have been thought of sufficient historical value to justify the inclusion of numerous and copious extracts from them in the foot-notes that accompany the text.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
