- LADY MARY WORTLEY MONTAGU, Mary
Montagu (hc/used/good/334 pps.) The life and times of a
fascinating Georgian woman who did it all and knew
everyone recorded in Lady Mary’s inimitable diary.
Details of daily life from costume, to transportation,
to society leaders—are a veritable treasure trove of
information.

(tp/used/excellent/452 pps.) A richly detailed and
engaging book of the historical, social and daily life
of the world’s leading countries at the start of
England’s Regency and Napoleon’s wars. A great
cross-cultural view of the world in 1800.

Earl Stanhope (tp/new/270 pps.) For twenty years Earl
Stanhope took notes of his conversations with the great
Duke: memories of his campaigns in Spain, India,
Portugal and Waterloo; about Napoleon and his Marshals;
about Metternich and Talleyrand, the British political
scene and the Reform Movement; Catholic emancipation;
and the royalty: Charles X and Louis XVIII of France,
George IV and Victoria of Great Britain. A truly
insightful look at the guardian of Britain’s honor.
- MARIE LOUISE: NAPOLEON’S NEMESIS,
Dr. J. Alexander Mahan (hc/used/good/364 pps.) A
riveting portrait and history of Marie Louise of
Austria, the grand-niece of Marie Antoinette and one of
Napoleon’s wives--and her impact on the world as she
became instrumental in Napoleon’s downfall, avenging the
death of Marie Antoinette at the hands of the
revolutionists. Excellent portraits and bibliography.
- METTERNICH, H. Du Coudray (hc/used/fair/415
pps.) A Yale University Press biography of the great
Regency statesman, Klemens Metternich who had such
influence and impact on Europe. He negotiated the
marriage of Napoleon and Marie Louise; had a long
literary affair of letters with leading Regency society
doyenne, Princess Dorothea Lieven and was the confident
of kings. A complex, enigmatic, calculating but
brilliant man lurked beneath the façade of gentility in
Prince Metternich!
