_Williams._--J. H. Hanson, _The Lost Prince: Facts tending to prove
the Identity of Louis XVII. of France and the Rev. Eleazer Williams_
(London and New York, 1854).
_De Richemont._--_Mémoires du duc de Normandie, fils de Louis XVI.,
écrits et publiés par lui-même_ (Paris, 1831), compiled, according to
Quérard, by E. T. Bourg, called Saint Edme; Morin de Guérivière,

Restauration convaincue ... ou preuves de l'existence du fils de Louis
XVI._ (Paris, 1851).
The widespread interest taken in Louis XVII. is shown by the fact that
since 1905 a monthly periodical has appeared in Paris on this subject,
entitled _Revue historique de la question Louis XVII._, also by the
promised examination of the subject by the Société d'Histoire
contemporaine. (M. Br.)
