Of all the published memoirs relative to the reign of Louis XV, the
Memoirs of Madame du Hausset (Ladies' Maid to Madame de Pompadour)
are the only perfectly sincere ones. Sometimes, Madame du Hausset
mistakes, through ignorance, but never does she willfully mislead;
nor is she ever betrayed by her vanity to invent. Madame du Hausset
was often separated from the little and obscure chamber in the
Palace of Versailles, where resided the supreme power, only by a
slight door or curtain, which permitted her to hear all that was
said there. She had for a cher ami the greatest practical
philosopher of that period, Dr. Quesnay, the founder of political
economy. He was physician to Madame de Pompadour, and one of the
sincerest and most single-hearted of men probably in Paris at the
time. He explained to Madame du Hausset many things that, but for
his assistance, she would have witnessed without understanding.
