Opis

Mary Carleton, also known as the German Princess, was a scandalous celebrity in Restoration London. Her notoriety arose from her 1663 trial and acquittal for bigamy. This volume contains her version of her life as a 'German Princess', who married first a Canterbury shoemaker, and then a surgeon. It also includes selection of pamphlets on her.
