WIGHT A MEMBER OF THE PARKMAN CLUB, WITH WHOSE APPROVAL THIS PAMPHLET IS PRINTED BOSTON T. R. MARVIN & SON, PRINTERS 191S x\ -.-"V?:rp" h.^<=f7^lQlil INTRODUCTORY To my Friends of the Parkman Club and to my other Friends : The present writing is a Bibliography. It is a list of a collection of literary material concerning Louis XVII of France and concern- ing those individuals, two dozen or more in number, who have per- sonated him. In relation to this my effort, a few observations must be made : 1. The list is carefully limited to the treasures in my own Library. This is true not only of the books, pamphlets, magazine articles and newspaper clippings alphabetized in the Bibliography, but also of the citations in the notes and of the references anywhere in this pamph- let. I have not gone outside my four walls for a citation upon any- thing. It therefore follows that this Bibliography does not claim completeness. The exact opposite is its admission. A very slight knowledge of this particular field is necessary to show its immense- ness. My effort has been to lay a foundation; upon it they who will may build. 2. But one asks, " If you cannot be complete why print at all ? " Candidly, so that others than myself may know of the bigness of my gathering. And herein I have the authority of James Boswell. It was the idea of that learned biographer, when parading his pedigree, that the genealogy of a family amounted to nothing unless somebody else knew about it. Or, to quote his Latin, Nihil est nisi hoc sciat alter. So, this my collection of bibliographical material availeth nothing if you are not made acquainted with whatever extent and scope and value it possesses. 3. This Bibliography does not contain all the books in my Library wherein Louis XVII and the adventurers trailing after him, are men- tioned. The references to my subject in not a few of my volumes are too few or too casual to allow separate cataloguing of these 4 volumes. Such books are either passed over in silence or briefly mentioned in a note. This is particularly true of numerous biogra- phies of Marie Antoinette. 4. With but two or three exceptions title pages have been set out in extenso. It has not, however, been feasible to indicate styles of type and line terminations. Punctuation marks have also been sup- plied when needful. In the main however the very title page is before us. 5. A few biographical data concerning Louis XVII will refresh our memories. He was the son of Louis XVI King of France and of Marie Antoinette of Austria, his queen. He was born at Versailles, March 27, 1785, and became in 1789, by the death of his elder brother, the Dauphin of France. He was a prisoner with his parents in the Temple tower. He died there June 8, 1795, or, to employ the Revolutionary calendar, on the 20th of Prairial of the year III. (Aulard's ITie French Revolution, III, page 249.) 6. It is not within my purpose to sketch the careers of the im- postors. Exception is made in the case of Naundorff, who became so notorious as to be almost noted. A few facts are presented later concerning him and his descendants. These last to the fourth gen- eration have perpetuated his imposition. However, recent action of the French Senate, decidedly hostile to the Naundorffs and their claims, may relegate the members of this family to the obscurity out of which they ought never to have emerged. A list of the more important of the impostors follows. Sicotifere in his I^s faux Louis XVII, (373), gives account of their lives, so far as they have escaped oblivion. 7. The propensity of the Frenchman to veil himself under a so- briquet requires furnishing a little assistance. The genuine name always occurs in the Bibliography when it can be found, although it is more than possible that in some cases I have alphabetized under a nom deplume innocently posing as the true name. In the Biblio- graphy look for books by Un ami de la v^ritd under Dupuy. Edouard Burton under Varannes. A. M. F. under Falls. Hubert under Perrin. G. Lenotre under Gosselin. Merriman under Scott. Miihlbach under Mundt. Osmond under Berton. Pr^vault under Brun-Lavainne. Provins under Foulon de Vaulx. Richemont under Perrin. S * * * under Silvy. Saint-M^moire under Dupuy. Stenay under Collin la Herte. Ymal Oswin under Wilson. In addition, the following shadows became realities too late for rearrangement of numerical order and alphabetization : F. A. d'Ersky is a pseudonym of Fernand Mitton ; Marquise de Fontenoy, of Mar- guerite CunlifiEe Owen ; Stdfane-Pol, of M. Coutant, and Severine, of Caroline Rdmy Gudbhard. Now and then I have discovered no portion of an author's name except the surname. A space after the surname betrays my igno- rance. The titles grouped under Unknown are very many more than I wish. These titles are arranged in chronological order of publication. This introduction is followed by an alphabetical list of the impos- tors, by a brief account of the Naundorff family, by Bdranger's satire upon Mathurin Bruneau, and by a translation of a glorious poem by Victor Hugo — the apotheosis of Louis XVII. Then comes the Bibliography. If it is true that the origin of the present struggle in Europe is to be found in the terrors of the French Revolution, there is I trust no impropriety in calling your attention at the present time to a Little Boy — that Revolution's most innocent victim.

THE POSTERITY OF CHARLES WILUAM NAUNDORFF So FAR as is known none other of the impostors, except Meves, left descendants who perpetuated the ancestral fraud. In the case of the individual known as Naundorfl, his posterity to this day has carried on his deception. The marriage of Naundorff with Joanna Einert, or Einers, occur- red, according to Lutheran rites, at Spandau, Prussia, November 19, 18 18, the bride being then sixteen years of age. She, a participant in her husband's schemes, died in Holland, June 8, 1888. Naun- dorff, who was above forty years of age at this marriage, died at Delft, Holland, August 10, 1845. All the earlier children of the wedlock, were baptized as Lutherans, but there was a wholesale apostacy when Catholicism was necessary in order to advance royal claims. Brief sketches of the nine Naundorff children follow : I. Jean Amelia, born at Spandau, August 31, 1819. As "Jeanne Am^lie de Bourbon " she married July 15, 1876, Xavier Abel Martin Laprade. She claimed that she closely resembled Marie Antoinette the queen. She died December 27, 1891. II. Edward, later known as Charles Edward, born at Spandau, July 23, 182 1. The Naundorffists knew him as "Charles X." He died unmarried at Breda, Holland, January 31, 1866. III. Bertha Jane, born at Crossen, Prussia, in 1823, died in 1825. IV. Marie Antoinette, (the children's names now become signifi- cant), born at Crossen in 1829. She married in Holland, May 12, 1 85 1, William Sebastian van der Horst, and in January, 1890, she married Emmanuel Benjamin Daymonaz. No child of hers is noted. She died in 1893. In a leaflet printed in 1888 she is called Her Royal Highness Madam the Princess Marie Antoinette de Bourbon. See the Bibliography for publications by Daymonaz. V. Louis Charles, horn, at Crossen, March 11, 183 1. Upon the death of " Charles X," he was known as " Charles XI." He mar- ried October 9, 1880, Mrs. Snoers (n^e de KruijfE), but was childless. As " king " he issued several proclamations to the French nation, in one of which (see 307), dated December 16, 1884, he names as his heirs the children of his then deceased younger brother, Charles 8 Edmund. However, he had previously, November 14, 1883, "abdi- cated " in favor of a still younger brother, Adelberth. His attempt to withdraw this " abdication," his charge that it had been extorted, his re-assertion of the royal rights of his favored nephews, caused mjuch family trouble, which spread to partisans, and which crops out in the pamphlets of the period. " Charles XI " died in Holland, November 26, 1899. VI. Charles Edmund, born at Crossen, March 24, 1833. He married at Maestricht, Holland, May 22, 1872, Christine Schonlau, a servant in his mother's family, a young woman of soiled reputation. He died October 29, 1883. Besides two children born to this pair before their marriage, three sons are credited to their wedlock : 1. Augustin John Charles Emmanuel, born November 6, 1872, known as "John III, King of France," since the death of "Charles XI." He married February 7, 1898, Fanny Marie Magdelonne Cuilld, of Lunel, France, which place became his residence. He moved to Paris in 1900, and was a wine mer- chant. His son, Henry Charles Louis, born at Lunel, Novem- ber 27, 1899, is "dauphin of France." 2. Charles Louis Matthew, born March 4, 1875, known as "Mon- sieur." 3. Louis Charles, born August 29, 1878, a French soldier in foreign service. Doubts as to the legitimacy of Christine Schonlau 's children made much trouble in the family upon the death of her husband. His sister Marie Antoinette, did not hesitate to assert that these sons were entirely without Bourbon blood. Moreover, she also claimed that as Adelberth was a non-Catholic and a Hollander, he and his children were disqualified for the French throne, and that the elder Bourbon line was now extinct. See Daymonaz, 113. VII. Augusta Maria, born at Dresden, May 15, 1835. She mar- ried July 10, 1875, a Protestant named Le Clercq, living in the Netherland Indies. He died in May, 1895. She died at Delft, Holland, November 27, 1908, the last survivor of the original Naun- dorfE's children. VIII. Adelberth, born in Surrey, England, April 26, 1840. By a renegade Catholic priest named Appert, he was baptized into the Catholic Evangelical Church, a new faith which the elder Naundorff had assisted to establish among his followers. See 72. On Febru- ary 23, 1865, Adelberth married a Protestant, Marie de Quesne. He was a captain of infantry in the Dutch array. He died October 18, 1887. Children: 1. Louis Charles John Philip, born December 8, 1866. His wife was Gabrielle Johan. He was a soldier in the Netherland army, but deserted. See 265. 2. Henry, born October 25, 1867. He entered the Netherland naval service. He married October 6, 1898, Caroline Anna van Kervel. He is known as " Henri VI." See 448. 3. Emmanuel, born January 14, 1869. 4. Ferdinand, born and died in 1873. IX. Ange Emmanuel, born in Kent, England, March 14, 1843. He was in the Holland East Indian service and became captain of a steam vessel. He died in Batavia, February 13, 1878. lO LE PRINCE DE NAVARRE ou MATHURIN BRUNEAU* Bit BERANGER. Air du Ballet des Pierrots. Quoi ! tu veux rdgner sur la France ! Es-tu fou, pauvre Mathuria ? N'&hange point ton indigence Contra tout I'or d'un souverain. Sur un tr5ne I'ennui se carre, Fier d'etre encensd par des sots. Croyez-moi, prince de Navarre, Prince, faites-nous des sabots. Des leQons que le malheur donne, Tu n'as done point tird de fruit ? Rdclamerais-tu la couronne. Si le malheur t'avait instruit? Cette ambition n'est point rare, Meme ailleurs que chez les hdros. Croyez-moi, prince de Navarre, Prince, faites-nous des sabots. Dans le rang que toi-meme espferes, Trompds par des flatteurs cilins. Que de rois se disent les pferes D'enfants qui se croient orphelins ! R^gner, c'est n'etre point avare De lois, de rubans, de grands mots. Croyez-moi, prince de Navarre, Prince, faites-nous des sabots. Quand tu combattrais avec gloire, Sache que plus d'un conqudrant Se voit arracher la victoire Par un g&&al ignorant. * Tout le monde se rappelle que Mathurin Bruneau, reconnu pour 6tre fils d'un sabo- tier, affectait de se donner le titre de prince de Navarre. II Un Anglais, a.id6 d'un Tartare, Foule aux pieds de nobles drapeaux. Croyez-moi, prince de Navarre, Prince, faites-nous des sabots. Combien d'agents ill^gitimes Servent la Idgitimit^ ! Trop tard sur les malheurs de Nlmes On ^clairerait ta bontd. Le roi qu'au Pont-Neuf on r^pare * Parle en vain pour les huguenots. Croyez-moi, prince de Navarre, Prince, faites-nous des sabots. De tes maux quel serait le terme Si quelques allies sans foi Pr^tendaient que tu tiens k ferme Le trSne que tu dis k toi ? De jour en jour leur ligue avare Augmenterait le prix des baux. Croyez-moi, prince de Navarre, Prince, faites-nous des sabots. Enfin pourrais-tu sans scrupule, Graissant la patte au Saint-Esprit, Faire un concordat ridicule Avec ton p^re en Jesus-Christ ? Pour lui redorer sa tiare, Tu nous surchagerais d'imp6ts. Croyez-moi, prince de Navarre, Prince, faites-nous des sabots. D'ailleurs ton metier nous arrange : Nos amis nous ont fait capot. C'est pour que I'dtranger la mange Que nous mettons la poule au pot. De nos souliers mSme on s'empare Aprfes avoir pris nos manteaux. Croyez-moi, prince de Navarre, Prince, faites-nous des sabots. *0n s'occupait alors de relever la statue de Henri IV. 12 LOUIS XVII. CAPET, EVEILLE-TOI I Bv VICTOR HUGO. Heaven's golden gates were opened wide one day, And through them shot one glittering, dazzling ray From the veiled Glory, through the shining bars. Whilst the glad armies of the ransomed dead Welcomed a spirit by child-angels led Beneath the dome of stars. From griefs untold that boy-soul took its flight. Sorrow had dimmed his eyes and quenched their light ; Round his pale features floats his golden hair; Whilst virgin souls with songs of welcome stand With martyr palms to fill His childish hand. And crown him with that crown the Innocents should wear. Hark ! Hear th' angelic hosts their song begin ; New angel ! Heaven is open — enter in. Come to thy rest ; thine earthly griefs are o'er. God orders all who chant in praise of Him, Prophets, archangels, seraphim, To hail thee as a King and Martyr evermore ! When did I reign ? the gentle spirit cries. I am a captive, not a crowned king. Last night in a sad tower I closed my eyes. When did I reign ? O Lord, explain this thing. My father's death still fills my heart with fear. A cup of gall to me, his son, "Was given. I am an orphan. Is my mother here ? I always see her in my dreams of heaven. The angels answered : God the Wise and Good, Dear boy, hath called thee from the evil world, A world that tramples on the Blessed Rood, Where regicides with ruthless hands have hurled Kings from their thrones, And from their very graves have tossed their mouldering bones. 13 What! is my long, sad, weary waiting o'er? The child exclaimed. Has all been suffered, then ? Is it quite true that from this dream no more I shall be rudely waked by cruel men ? Ah ! in my prison every day I prayed, How long, O God, before some help will come ? Oh, can this be a dream ? I feel afraid — Can I have died, and be at last at home ? You know not half my griefs that long sad while ; Each day life seemed more terrible to bear ; I wept, but had no mother's pitying smile, No dear caress to soften my despair. It seemed as if some punishment were sent Through me some unknown sin to expiate. I was so young — ere knowing what sin meant Could I have earned my fate ? Vaguely, far off, my memory half recalls Bright, happy days before these days of fear ; Asleep a glorious murmur sometimes falls Of cheers and plaudits on my childish ear. Then I remember all this passed away ; Mysteriously its brightness ceased to be ; A lonely, friendless boy I helpless lay, And 411 men hated me. My young life in a living tomb they threw ; My eyes no more beheld the sun's bright beams ; But now I see you angels, brothers, who So often came to watch me in my dreams. Men crushed my life in those hard hands of theirs. But they had wrongs. O Lord, do not condemn ! Be not as deaf as they were to my prayers ! I want to pray for them. The angels chanted : Heaven's holiest place Welcomes thee in. We'll crown thee with a star ; Blue wings of cherubim thy form shall grace. On which to float afar. Come with us. Thou shalt comfort babes who weep In unwatched cradles in the world below, Or bear fresh light on wings of glorious sweep To suns that burn too low. 14 The angels paused. The child's eyes filled with tears. On heaven an awful silence seemed to fall. The Father spake, and echoing through the spheres His voice was heard by all. My love, dear king, preserved thee from the fate Of earth-crowned kings whose griefs thou hast not known. Rejoice, and join the angels' happy hymns. Thou hast not known the slavery of the great ; Thy brow was never bruised beneath a crown, Though chains were on thy limbs. What though life's burden crushed thy tender frame. Child of bright hopes, heir of a royal name ! Better to be Child of that blessed One who suffered scorn, Heir of that King who wore a crown of thorn, Hated and mocked — like thee. BIBLIOGRAPHY.

This review was begun in Paris in 1905 as a monthly magazine, but several of the numbers are included as one part, so that there were but six issues in 1905, five in 1906, seven in 1907, five in 1908, three in 1909, and but one in 191 o. It is mentioned in Caron's Manuel, 4, page 33 note. No editor's name appears, but an introductory address is signed Henri Provins. He says, page 9, that this publication is to be a successor of and substitute for the Bulletin. See 2.

This, among the earliest of the Naundorff publications, is quite incon- sistent in detail with the writer's later accounts of himself. The later cunningly devised theories of his " escape " were so different from the method of escape stated in this book, that he was com- pelled to declare this book a " romance."

To refuse credit con- fers for a moment an appearance of superiority, which every little mind is tempted to assume when it may be gained so cheaply as by withdrawing attention from evidence, and declining the fatigue of comparing proba- bilities.

He was nephew of Spencer Perceval who was assassinated May 11, 181 2, by John Bell- ingham in the lobby of the House of Commons. It has even been asserted that this shooting was done because of Perceval's knowl- edge of the escaped dauphin! See Treherne's Spencer Perceval, 395. page 199- A review of Perceval's translation is found in Fraser's magazine for town and country, London, February, 1839, Volume XIX, pages 192-204.

Eleazer Williams and the lost prince. By Hon. John Y. Smith. Read before the Society March 10, 1870. Printed in Report and Collections of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin for the years i86g, i8jo, jSji and 1872, Madison, Wis- • consin, 1872, Volume VI, pages 308-341, and in the Reprint of the same book, Madison, igo8, same pages. This is a very severe attack upon Williams and a fatal blow at his claims, by one who knew him long and intimately. At the close of the article is a copy of a note by John G. Shea, LL. D., taken from American Historical Record, New York, July, 1872, Vol- ume I, page 320. Dr. Shea gives his reasons for believing that Williams was insane. In the same Record, for September, 1872, pages 410-412, " Fair Play " writes an article called The hair of the Indian. — Eleazer Williams, in which he takes issue with Mr. Smith's claim that Eleazer Williams and the Rev. Mr. Hanson, see 213, conspired to impose upon the credulity of the public. Mr. Smith was born February 10, 1807. He removed to Wisconsin from New York in 1828, was for several years a citizen of Green Bay, and died near Madison, May s, 1 874. 379 STEFANE-POL. St^fane-Pol. De Robespierre a Fouch6.

For a translation of this book, see Vitrac, Maurice and Galopin Arnould. As Turquan's " solution " was hostile to NaundorfE pretensions the author was attacked by Friedrichs, 176. Turquan's later book, Madame Royale, the last Dauphtne, proceeds upon the same "solution" whenever reference is made to Louis XVII. Turquan's theory is that Louis XVII was assassinated in the Temple tower, January 19, 1794, and his body buried in the Temple moat. That the body of a child believed to be that of Louis XVII was found in the moat is stated by General d'Andign^ in his Mimoires, edited by Edmond Bird, published by Plon, Paris, igoi. Volume II, pages 46-48. On the subject of this body, see Sicotifere, Les faux Louis XVII, pages 180, i8i. Turquan was born at Bastia, Corsica, in 1 854. 399 TWITCHELLj HANNAH.

Charles, Libraire, 8 Rue Monsieur- le-Prince, 8. 1895. i6mo, 152 pages. The Naundorffs, in order to weaken the claim of Louis Philippe to the throne of France, made gleeful and persistent use of the following story : Philippe Egalit^, being childless and not wishing his vast estates to go to collateral heirs, earnestly desired a son. Traveling with his wife in Italy early in 1773, a daughter was born to them, April 17, 1773, near Modigliana in Tuscany. By purchase an ex- change was effected by Egalitd of this daughter for the son of a jailer named Lorenzo Chiappini who lived at Modigliana. This son was born on the same day. The claim is not however that this son was palmed off upon the world as Egalitd's son, Louis Philippe, later king of the French, but that this last, who was born October 6, 1773 could not have been the son of Egalit^ and his wife because they were the actual parents of a daughter born the preceding April 17. Thus the Naundorfists would discredit Louis Philippe. But, see, contra, baron de Maricourt's Duchesse d^OrUans (Paris, 191 3), page 128. The bartered daughter known as Maria Stella Chiappini married, as his second wife, Sir Thomas Wynn, and became the mother of the first and second barons Newborough in the peerage of England. The first wife of Sir Thomas was Catharine Perceval, who was half- sister of Spencer Perceval, 306, and aunt of the Rev. Charles G. Perceval, 306. See Burke's Peerage, sub nom. Newborough and Egtnont. In this way the Percevals became interested in the Naun- dorff story. 430 Unknown. Ill-fated Louis XVII. Details of the terrible sufferings of the infant king.

The writer's father, Edward Higginson Williams, had been present at Caughnawaga, Canada, when revelation had been made to the mother of Eleazer Williams that the latter had denied she was his mother. This letter relates the incident. The letter is quoted at length in The Menomini Indians, by Walter James Hoffman, M. D., in Fourteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, Wash- ington, 1896, pages 23, 24. The writer, Edward Higginson Williams, Junior, was born September 30, 1849. His father was born in Woodstock, Vermont, June i, 1 824, was engaged in railroading and kindred business, and became eventually one of the firm owning the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia. In 1851 he was adopted by the Caughnawaga In- dians into their tribe under the name of Raristeseres. A pedigree of the Williams' family showing the common descent from Robert Williams of Roxbury, of the above writer, of the Rev. Eleazer 149 Williams and of Ephraim Williams the founder of Williams College is in Wight's Eleazer Williams (468), page 20 1 . 474 WILLIAMS, ELEAZER. History of the Dauphin. A review printed in United States Magazine and Democratic Review, New York, July, 1849, Volume XXV, pages 11-16. A footnote shows this to be a " review " of » History of the Dauphin, son of Louis the Sixteenth of France. By H. B. Ely." This is a supposititious review — a review of a non-existing book by a non- existing " H. B. Ely." The style and the statements alike point to Williams as the author of the " Review." That Williams was an author in the Iroquois tongue and a translator from that tongue into English appears from Filling's Bibliography of the Iroquoian languages, pages 167-169. See in Filling's book notes as to Williams by the Rev. William Martin Beauchamp and Thomas Warren Field. Besides the above History, the following writings by Williams are in my Library : 1.

[Affidavit] An affidavit, sworn to January 18, 1850, in Brown County, Wisconsin, printed at pages 5, 6, of Report Number 83, House of Representa- tives, 34th Congress, Third Session, made January 16, 1857; and at pages 6, 7, of Report Number 303, same House, 35th Congress, First Session, made April 17, 1858. These reports concern the claims of Thomas Williams and his wife Mary Ann Williams for indemnity for losses sustained in the war of 1812. The affiant recites that Thomas Williams was his father.
