Note 407 — XXXIX. Aug. 1787–April, 1789. IN LONDON.—THE COUNTESS GIVES UP FORGERY AND TAKES TO CALUMNY.
Reading edition
Husband and wife here contradict each other point blank. The count in his posthumous “Mémoires” maintains that the MS. was not surrendered to Calonne; the countess says it was—in all probability another falsehood, concocted by her, to induce the public to believe that the MS. had not been already sold to the French court.
