The Entire Memoirs of Louis XIV and the Regency is a historical book written by Charlotte-Elisabeth Duchesse d'Orleans. It is a comprehensive account of the life and reign of Louis XIV, the longest-serving monarch in French history, and the period of the Regency that followed his death. The book covers various aspects of Louis XIV's life, including his childhood, his rise to power, his political and military achievements, his personal life, and his legacy. It also provides an in-depth analysis of the Regency period, which was marked by political instability and social upheaval. The author, who was a member of the French royal family, offers a unique perspective on these events, drawing on her personal experiences and insights. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in French history, politics, and culture.If my father had loved me as well as I loved him he would never have sent me into a country so dangerous as this, to which I came through pure obedience and against my own inclination. Here duplicity passes for wit, and frankness is looked upon as folly. I am neither cunning nor mysterious. I am often told I lead too monotonous a life, and am asked why I do not take a part in certain affairs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
