Summary

"Quotes and Images From Memoirs of Louis XV. and XVI." by Du Hausset and Lamballe is a historical compilation from the late 19th century that assembles quotes and images offering a glimpse into the lives of French kings Louis XV and Louis XVI. It draws from the perspectives of people who lived during that time, such as Du Hausset, a member of the court, and Princess Lamballe, who was close with Marie Antoinette. The stories told through these collected elements explore the complicated world of the French court during a period of political problems and personal drama. The book shares important quotes that show the complexities of the royal environment, focusing on things like politics, how people acted with each other, and what people thought about the nobles. These quotes talk about how the kings acted, what their friends were like, and the important social problems of the day, including the differences between the classes and the coming revolution. Every quote acts as a brief look at history, helping readers understand the nature of power, responsibility, and relationships within the French court, creating a clear image of a time about to change forever.
