Memoirs of Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, and of the Court of Queen Anne Vol. 1 (of 2)
Thomson, A. T., Mrs.
Great Britain -- Court and courtiers -- Biography; Marlborough, Sarah Jennings Churchill, Duchess of, 1660-1744
With one exception: in her “Conduct” she seems to imply that the Duke
of Marlborough had held no correspondence whatsoever with James the
Second. She does not, indeed, say so; but disingenuously says, if Lord
Marlborough had acted so and so. There was abundant proof of his
negociations with the exiled family.
Footnote 353:
Such is the style of the work, entitled, “The Other Side of the
Question,” and also of the “Review of a late Treatise, entitled ‘An
Account of the Conduct of Sarah Duchess of Marlborough, &c.,’ in a
Letter addressed to a Person of Distinction.” In this work, which was
written by a nobleman, there seems to be more of invective than of
fact.
