Excerpt from The Authentic Historical Memoirs of Louis Charles, Prince-Royal, Dauphin of France, Second Son of Louis XVI: And Marie Antoinette, Who, Subsequently to October 1793, Personated Through Supposititious Means, Augustus Meves The Dauphins escape from the Tower of the Temple is no longer a mysterious problem. The truth that has hitherto been enveloped in a labyrinth of obscurities is now substantially removed. The demise of the son of Louis xvi. and Marie Antoinette in the Tower of the Temple was but a Republican assertion and not an historical fact, which has benefited the ruling sovereigns of France, since the sacrifice of Louis XVI., to acquiesce in, namely, Napoleon Bonaparte, Louis xviii., Charles x., the Dukes of Angoulme and Berri (the sons of Charles x.), Marie Thrfese (the daughter of Louis xvi. married to the Duke of Angoulme, consequently in the interest of the house of Charles x.), le Comte de Chambord, the acknowledged legitimate sovereign of France (son of the Duke of Berri), Louis Philippe, the Orleans Family, and, lastly, Louis Napoleon all have had, and still have, an interest in recognising the authenticity of the Republican announcement, that the son of Louis XVI. died in the Temple. Nevertheless, with all this apparent antagonistic array of political influence, vnth its attendant legions, to annihilate truth, such will be impotent and ineffectual, for sooner or later it will manifest itself; and though it may be lulled to sleep for a while, time will eventually dispel the illusions, that chicanery and artifice have invented. The Memoirs are written by the Claimant to the Throne of France, as the legitimate heir, and were completed during his life. A sequel is now added, so that all particulars connected with this hitherto historical mystery should be thoroughly explained. William, And Augustus Meves.
