Marie Antoinette, Madame Roland, and Josephine are the three most prominent heroines of the French Revolution. The history of their lives necessarily records all the most interesting events of that most fearful tragedy which man has ever enacted. Marie Ahoinette beheld the morning dawn of the Revolution; its lurid midday sun glared upon Madame Roland; and Jospehine beheld the pretentious phenomenon fade away. Each of these heroines displayed traits of character worthy of all imitation. No one can read the history of their lives without being ennobled by the contemplation of the fortitude and grandeur of spirit they evince. To the young ladies of our land, we especially commend the heroines of the French Revolution.
