FRENCH ANECDOTES
THE ci cievant Due d'Orleans,
was ever the avowed enemy
of the widowed queen ; not from
any real insult or injury he ever re
ceived from Iter, but because her
vivacity and wit fomeiinies led ber
to ridicule his follies and vices.
Some years since, when the duke
began to build upon the gaudens of
the palais royal, the inhabitants of
Paris, murmuring at his condudt in
depriving them of their favorite
walk, grew highly incensed againlt
him. The lovely queen, who had
heard of the difconieut among the
people, and who ever wiflied to con
tribute to their pleasure and liappi
liefs, f'aid jocosely to Monsieur d'Or
leans, " my cousin you will r.ot have
much trouble or expence in finding
materials for your new buildings ;
for i find all the inhabitants of Pa
ris are ready to throw ft ones at you."
This innocent pleasantry was how
ever one of the crimes never forgot
ten by the dnke, and never menti
oned but with a threat of vengeance.
The late unfortunate king of
France was not only the tenderefl
of fathers, hut the, mod conUaut of
hulbands ; of which the following
well known anecdote will bear wit
ness : About ten yeais since, che
wife of a Bourgeoife in Paris, re
markable for her beauty, made a
point of following the king to all
public places,even his morning rides
were attended by the ambitious Ena
morata. The king being infoimed
of her motive, one morning, while
taking his exercise in the Bois de
Bologne.nearPai is.ftopp'd hishorfe,
and addrefled the lady to'the sol*
lowing purport :—" If you follow
me from idle curioflty, madam, I
think by this time that curioflty
might be fatisfied ; if from a desire
to draw my attention, I will save
you the trouble ; for while my wife
is the firft object of my afFetfions,
I have no occasion for a mistress."
Such was the vidim of an inhuman
people, the firfl truly virtuous mo
narch that misguided France ever
had to boast of !

TO THE PUBLIC
• THE Author is sensible that (he fi,ft edition
of his American Geogiaphy (which makes Part
J'"' thc abo " e wo 'k) was in many instances de
fective, in others erroneous, and in some offen
livc. It has been his endeavour, as it was his
desire, in the present edition, to fupplv the defi
c.encies, correct the evrors, and meliorate the
offenfive pans of the last. To aflift him in this
bulinefs, he has received many valuable commu
nications from Ihe heads of departments in the
Kncral soverament, and from gentlcfnen of re
fptclabiluy iri ihe fcveial Hates. The defcrip.
tnii of foreign countries (which composes Part
11. of the above work) hat been carefully com
piled from the most approved writers on Gro.
graphy, and ufetul information introduced from
the difcover.es of the latest Navigators, Travel
lers, and refpeitable authors. Indeed, no pains
norcxpenfe have been spared to render this work
the moll complete, accurate, and ufeful of anv
ever offtrtd to the public
