From
Vive la Reine.
Of the seventy-three years of her life, she passed eight (the best of
her youth) in restraint or in a dungeon, and thirty-eight in exile; and
yet she died acknowledging the mercies and the glory of God. Let us who
have not known affliction, or who have been but lightly visited, derive
wisdom from the instruction offered to us by the pious daughter of
Louis Seize and Marie Antoinette. —The Gentlemen’s Magazine, Volume 36, 1851

Marie Thérèse Charlotte of France, read Madame Royale.
