ABOUT BOOK

The story is of the Napoleonic time, and o fthe Hungarian army raised in 1809 to resist the invader. It has for its heroine a daughter of King Louis XVI., saved from her enemies by devoted royalist sympathizers, who center their hopes in a possible restoration which shall bring her to the throne of her ancestors. Her death makes the device innocent enough, a device justified, for the rest, by the romance that has been woven about her fortunes.
