First sentence: WHEN the most brilliant French writer of the eighteenth century asserted that, with the exception of the Stuarts, there is not known to history any sovereign house whose members were uninterruptedly devoted to misfortune for several successive centuries, there is no doubt that, little as Voltaire, the historian, may be entitled to our confidence, his remark is, nevertheless, perfectly consistent with truth, and conveys, in a few words, a correct impression of the fate of the family.
