Cover of Andrew Lang: Valet's tragedy, and other studies (ePUB)

pub One.info present you this new edition. These studies in secret history follow no chronological order. The affair of James de la Cloche only attracted the author’s attention after most of the volume was in print. But any reader curious in the veiled intrigues of the Restoration will probably find it convenient to peruse ‘The Mystery of James de la Cloche’ after the essay on ‘The Valet’s Master, ‘ as the puzzling adventures of de la Cloche occurred in the years (1668-1669), when the Valet was consigned to lifelong captivity, and the Master was broken on the wheel. What would have been done to ‘Giacopo Stuardo’ had he been a subject of Louis XIV. , ”tis better only guessing. ‘ But his fate, whoever he may have been, lay in the hands of Lord Ailesbury’s ‘good King, ‘ Charles II. , and so he had a good deliverance.
