This is a new release of the original 1929 edition.
1929. Part One of Two Volumes. Embellished with photogravure
portraits of Cardinal Dubois and the Duc d'Orleans, together with
twelve full page drawings by Lui Trugo. This is one of the more
important memoirs of court life in 17th Century France. The Memoirs
of Cardinal Dubois, French statesman and cardinal of the Roman
Catholic Church, has been sensitively translated by the English
Nineties poet Ernest Dowson. Dubois became secretary of state for
foreign affairs. Reversing the foreign policy of King Louis XIV, he
concluded the Triple Alliance of 1717 with England and the
Netherlands, and negotiated marriage contracts between the royal
houses of France and Spain. In 1721 he was made a cardinal and in
1722 became chief minister.
