Excerpt from Queens and Princesses of France As the following pages are chiefly designed for the perusal of youth, (to whom biography is always the most attractive form of instruction and amusement, ) such lives only have been selected from the long array of Queens and Princesses who have adorned the throne of France as have been deemed to afford examples of the greatest virtues, exhibited under circumstances of the most trying nature. And lest the description of the beauty, talents, wealth, and other worldly possessions of the royal ladies herein commemorated should excite the youthful reader to envy, I would call her attention to the fact of its not being these qualities alone, but the virtues which distinguished them from their contemporaries, that have earned for them the admiration of posterity.
