Product Information

IN the judicial annals of France there has never been a more striking or celebrated figure than the Marquise de Brinvilliers. The ermity of her crimes, the brilliance of her rank, the circumstances accompanying her trial and death, -the story of which, as told by her confessor, the abbe Pirot, is one of the masterpieces of French literature, -finally, the strange energy of her character, which after her execution caused her to be regarded as a saint by a portion of the population of Paris: all these things will for long years to come attract to her the attention of all who are interested in the history of the past. Michelet devoted to the Marquise de Brinvilliers a study in the Revue des Deux Mondes. But his story is very inaccurate and leaves many gaps. From the historical point of view, the little vel of Dumas is much to be preferred. The beautiful criminal has also been dealt with by Pierre Clement in his Police of Paris under Louis XIV, and more recently by Maitre Cornu, in his discourse at the reopening of the lecture-term of the advocates to the Court of Cassation. The writer of the following pages has been able to make use of some fresh documents.
