This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER IV LOUIS XV. LOUIS XVI. MARIE ANTOINETTE Lou1s XV. was a misery, a calamity, to his country. He began his reign with the title of the " Well Beloved," a title with which he soon parted.

That merry rogue, Charles II. of England, who resembled him in many ways, redeemed in a measure his character when, in his last moments, he begged those about his death-bed not to let poor Nell starve.
