Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Release or Caroline's French Kindred It may be objected that the two parts of this volume only adhere through the individuality of Caroline; but having provided her with French kindred, it was tempting to make her the connecting link, especially as those who care to do so may trace her pedigree in the Chaplet of Pearls and Stray Pearls. Both sets of adventures have a foundation. The defiance of the French fleet actually took place, and the head-dress, so proudly worn, is minutely described in the memoirs of the court of Louis XVI., and may be found in Lady Jackson's history; but I fear it was a wife and not a maiden who thus audaciously manifested her patriotism. The second story is not in print, but it was told to me by Monsieur Guizot five and twenty years ago, - of the reluctant nun appealing to the Pope and obtaining her release. I have since had permission to use the circumstance for a plot, only withholding the names. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
