Review
"Here at last is one the great texts of the 17th century presented so as to make it available to the modern public." -- Washington Post Book World
"The letters, translated from German by Elborg Forster, are accompanied by an excellent introduction and a `Cast of Characters' as informative as any scholar could want. For the general reader they are probably the most lively and entertaining when they deal with the personalities of Louis XIV and his family." -- Louis Auchincloss, New York Times Book Review
"A most illuminating, fascinating, and interesting volume." -- Alfred J. Bingham, Historian
