“Félicité Stéphanie de Genlis, comtesse, adventuress,
governess, copious writer of novels, plays, and homilies,
needed a biographer, and M. Jean Harmand has adequately
supplied the want.”—_Times._
“Extremely interesting … peculiarly vivid, and even fascinating
… he has made real for us the personality of Mme. de Genlis as
that of a remarkable woman, who led a remarkable life.”—_Daily
Telegraph._
“The true story of Mme. de Genlis’s life—a story now fully set
forth for the first time. And what an interesting figure she is
now that we can see her clearly! ‘A Keeper of Royal Secrets’
runs to over four hundred pages, but few will find it too
long.”—_Daily News and Leader._
“With the help of documents in the possession of the Genlis
family, and of other materials obtained from a variety of
sources, M. Harmand has been able to give us the first
full-length portrait of the woman who witnessed the Ancien
Régime, the Revolution, the Empire, and the Restoration, and
who died under the July Monarchy.”—_The Nation._
“Deeply interesting … she was an extraordinarily interesting
woman, who lived in extraordinarily interesting times, and Jean
Harmand has made the utmost of his long and deep study of both
in this fascinating volume.”—_Truth._
“Highly interesting … M. Harmand has produced much fresh
material, and has made a most interesting addition to the inner
history of nations.”—_Liverpool Daily Post._
