Michaud was for many years intimate with Louis Philippe served under hum in the army and was all his lie m position to observe hun carefully. He draws most airocous character for the unfortunate moaaErh--does not allow him one single virtue--and conHects his hsS tory with many horrible incidents. But the most cursouS part of the work IS that sn which the aa- thor collects vast number ot documents to show that Louis Philippe was not Bourbon. The story in belief IS this: that Philippe Egshie, the repu- ted father of Louis Philippe, exchanged an Insaht daughter of his, for the infant son of low jatler with W hom he had formed an acquaintance ,n Italy, in order to prevent hs family eStstcS from lapsing to the crown in the defe'ency of male hen.

Her memoirs having been scZed and the tribunals of jaStice closing against her by the ruling powers, whose tools they then were, they ended by prononneng her mad: the only pretext for this ealumny being a peculiar fancy which she had for feeding s0ae blrrls which flew to her windows from the gardens Of the TaileFics.
