France from Behind the Veil: Fifty Years of Social and Political Life, written by Count Paul Vassili (pseudonym) for Princess Catherine Radziwill, published in New York and London in 1915. Interactive Table of Contents, (438 pages)
The Publisher has copy-edited this book to improve the formatting, style and accuracy of the text to make it readable. This did not involve changing the substance of the text. Some books, due to age and other factors may contain imperfections. Since there are many books such as this one that are important and beneficial to literary interests, we have made it digitally available and have brought it back into print for the preservation of printed works of the past.
Original Publisher's Note:
...WHILE this volume has been passing through the press certain of the personages still living at the time Count Vassili was at work on the manuscript of "France from Behind the Veil" have passed away. Also, incidents have occurred which are a reflex of matters mentioned in these pages. In such instances the publishers have thought well to bring the manuscript right up to date, leaving the reader to understand that events happening in 1914, and therefore subsequent to the Count's death, have been so treated.
