DOWNLOAD EBOOKMemoirs of the Prince de Joinville by Francois Ferdinand Philippe Louis Marie is the autobiography of the King of France and the third son of Louis Philippe. Excerpt: "I was born at Neuilly-sur-Seine, on the outskirts of Paris, on the 14th of August, 1818. Immediately after my birth, and as soon as the Chancellor of France, M. Dambray, had declared me to be a boy, I was made over to the care of a wet nurse and another attendant. Three years later I passed out of female hands, earlier, somewhat, than is generally the case, for a little accident befell my nurse, in which my eldest brother's tutor, an unfrocked priest, as he was then discovered to be, was also concerned."
