Excerpt from Catalogue of the Library and Collection: Of Autograph Letters, Papers, and Documents; Bequeathed to the Massachusetts Historical Society By his will the Reverend Robert C. Waterston left under certain conditions to the Massachusetts Historical Society his library and collection of autograph letters, papers and documents, besides the sum of $40,000 for specified purposes. These conditions have now been complied with; and the printing of this catalogue was one of the purposes named by Mr. Waterston. The library is a miscellaneous collection, such as a man of leisure and literary tastes would make, who in a general way followed his own personal inclination rather than any special branch of study. Books relating to England and Great Britain and works on architecture and the fine arts are largely represented in the collection. There are also some missals and other early manuscripts, and nearly a score of incunabula. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Catalogue of Rare and Valuable Autograph Letters, Historical Documents and Authors' Original Manuscripts: On Sale by J. Pearson and Co Madame Royale, the fearless and unfortunate daughter of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, was written whilst the Princess was imprisoned in the Temple during the Terror. Manuscripts written by this Princess, the Orphan of the Temple, are of the greatest rarity. Never, perhaps, has any human being before or since been called upon to suffer such severe trials as this noble lady. She was but fourteen when the throne of France was wrested from her father, Louis XVI, and the Royal Family incarcerated in the prison of the Temple - her father and mother left it only to mount the scaffold, and the young Princess was forced to mourn the loss by the guillotine not only of the King her father and the Queen her mother, but also of her aunt, the Princess Elizabeth, and (by consumption) her brother, Louis XVII.
