In choosing the careers of definite celebrated ladies who've flung themselves with passion into the vortex of politics, the author's selection has now not been rather a lot an arbitrary one because it might sound, yet particularly guided via cases within which the adventurous video game has no longer been limited to the common contentions of the general public platform, or the non-public salon, yet performed at the grandest scale and at the so much conspicuous enviornment; whilst Peace and conflict, crowns and dynasties, have trembled within the stability, or even the destiny of a kingdom has been at stake.** [C:\Users\Microsoft\Documents\Calibre Library]

THE IMPORTANTS. IT is necessary, at this juncture, to have a just idea of the general position of political affairs in France, as well as of the attitude of the faction known as the Importants, who were then most active in opposing the government of Mazarin, in order to understand clearly the gravity of an incident which otherwise in itself might seem to be of little consequence. La Rochefoucauld, the historian of that party, has made us tolerably familiar with the men who composed it. They were a band of eccentric and mischievous spirits, bold of heart, ready of hand, and of boundless fidelity to one another.
Nothing is there wanting, everything coincides, all marvellously corresponds. It appears, indeed, as though Mazarin in making his notes had had before his eyes de Campion's Memoirs, or that the latter whilst penning them had Mazarin's carnets before him: he at once so thoroughly takes up the thread and completes them. ," 1807. Treuttel and Würtz. Paris. His brother Alexandre, in his letters of the month of August, 1643, had already let slip more than one mysterious sentence. He wrote to Madame de Montbazon in banishment:--"You must not despair, madam, there are still some half-a-dozen honest folks who do not give up....
Madame, I come here to protest to you that I am innocent of the wickedness of which I have been accused: no person of honour could utter a calumny such as this. If I had committed a like fault, I should have submitted to any punishment which it might have pleased the Queen to inflict upon me; I should never have shown myself again in the world, and would have asked your pardon. "[4] That lady was not present at the ceremony, and her mother, to whom the Duchess addressed herself, made a very short and dry reply.
