Excerpt from La Mission de M. De Forbin-Janson, Évêque de Marseille, Plus Tard Évêque de Beauvais, Auprès du Grand Duc Et de la Grande Duchesse de Toscane, Mars-Mai 1673: Récit d'un Témoin
Sous le titre: Les inforlunes d'une petite fille d' Henri V Marguerite d' Orléans Grande Duchesse de Toscane, l645 - l7?! M E. Rodooenacbi vient de publier le résultat d'études longues et suivies, dont il avait, à plusieurs reprises, entretenu l'académie des Sciences morales et politiques. Il y a décrit, à l'aide de documents de valeur et avec un sentiment assez juste, l'existence troublée de cette princesse, cousine de Louis XIV. C'est, je crois, pour la première fois que le tableau de sa vie se déroule en une monographie spéciale. Beaucoup aimeront à la connaitre. En dépit de ses ombres.
