Fiction
"Mr. Vizetelly's tale has all the interest of a romance which is too
strange not to be true.... His summing up of the evidence, both
negative and positive, which exculpates Marie-Antoinette from any
complicity whatever with the scandalous intrigue in which she was
represented as bearing a part, is admirable."--_Saturday Review._
"We can, without fear of contradiction, describe Mr. Henry
Vizetelly's 'Story of the Diamond Necklace' as a book of thrilling
interest. He has not only executed his task with skill and
faithfulness, but also with tact and delicacy."--_Standard._
"Had the most daring of our sensational novelists put forth the
present plain unvarnished statement of facts as a work of fiction,
it would have been denounced as so violating all probabilities as to
be a positive insult to the common sense of the reader. Yet strange,
startling, incomprehensible as is the narrative which the author has
here evolved, every word of it is true."--_Notes and Queries._
_In Large Crown 8vo, handsomely printed and bound, price 6s._
