Description

Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany of Useful and Entertaining Tracts, Vol. 1 At this period of his youth, as well as in more advanced years, the subject of our memoir gave many tokens of a benevolent and noble disposition, sacrificing on many occasions his pocket-mone to relieve distress, and exertin himself to succour the oppresse Speaking of his progress an character under her tuition, the Countess de Genlis observes: The Duke of Chartres has greatly improved in disposition during the past year; he was born with good inclinations, and is now become intelligent and virtuous. Possessing none of the frivolities of the age, he disdains the puerilities which occupy the thoughts of so many young men of rank - such as fashions, dress, trinkets, follies of all kinds, and the desire for novelties. He has no passion for money; he is disinterested; despises glare; and is consequently truly noble. Finally, he has' an excellent heart, which is common to his brothers and sister, and which, joined to reflection, is capable of producing all other good qualities.
