The Correspondence Of Madame, Princess Palatine, Mother Of The Regent: Of Marie-Adelaide De Savoie, Duchesse De Bourgogne, And Of Madame De Maintenon, In Relation To Saint-Cyr (1899) is a historical book that contains a collection of letters written by three prominent women of the French court during the 17th and 18th centuries. The letters are focused on their discussions and observations about the establishment of the Saint-Cyr school for girls, which was founded by Madame de Maintenon, the second wife of King Louis XIV of France. The book is edited and translated by Katherine Prescott Wormeley, an American writer and translator who specialized in French literature. The letters provide a unique insight into the lives of these women and their views on education, religion, and politics during a time of great social and political change in France. The book is a valuable resource for historians and scholars interested in the history of France, women's history, and education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
