is clearly demonstrated by J. Flammermont in _Études critiques sur les
  sources de l'histoire du xviii^e siècle: Les Mémoires de Mme Campan_,
  in the _Bulletin de la Faculté des lettres de Poitiers_ (4th year,
  1886, pp. 56, 109); J. Weber, _Mémoires concernant Marie Antoinette_
  (3 vols., London, 1804-1809; Eng. trans., 3 vols., London, 1805-1806);
  _Mémoires de M. le baron de Besenval_ (3 vols., Paris, 1805);
  _Mémoires de M. le duc de Lauzun_ (2nd ed., 2 vols., Paris, 1822); E.
  Bavoux, _Méms. secrets de J. M. Augeard, secrétaire des commandements
  de la reine M. Antoinette_ (Paris, 1866); Mme Vigée-Le-Brun, _Mes
  souvenirs_ (2 vols., Paris, 1867); _Mémoires de Mme la duchesse de
  Tourzel_, ed. by the duc de Cars (2 vols., Paris, 1883); _Mémoires de
  la baronne d'Oberkirch_ (2 vols., Paris, 1853).

  GENERAL WORKS:--See the general works on the period and on Louis XVI.,
  and bibliographies to articles LOUIS XVI. and FRENCH REVOLUTION. A.
  Sorel, _L'Europe et la Rév. fr._ (ii. _passim_) contains a good
  estimate of Marie Antoinette. See also E. and J. de Goncourt,
  _Histoire de Marie Antoinette_ (Paris, 1859); P. de Nolhac, _Marie
  Antoinette, dauphine_ (Paris, 1897); id. _La Reine Marie Antoinette_
  (8th cd., 1898), which gives good descriptions of Versailles, Trianon,
  &c.; M. de la Rocheterie, _Histoire de Marie Antoinette_ (2 vols.,
  Paris, 1890); A. L. Bicknell, _The Story of Marie Antoinette_; R.
  Prölss, _Königin Marie Antoinette, Bilder aus ihrem Leben_ (Leipzig,
  1894); G. Desjardins, _Le Petit-Trianon_ (Versailles, 1885). For her
  trial and death, see E. Campardon, _Marie Antoinette à la
  Conciergerie_ (1863). H. Belloc's _Marie Antoinette_ (London, 1909) is
  very biassed and sometimes misleading.     (C. B. P.)
