Excerpt from Elizabeth Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary The sketch of the chequered career of Elizabeth of austria-hungary cannot fail to interest, and to the many who know but little beyond the details of her tragic death, the accidents of heredity, environment and sorrow, so accurately treated by the authoress, must prove acceptable. It is but the foreground of human life we can examine with any exactness, and even a pro founder study of the empress-queen than this claims to be, would fail to give more than an outline of events with which she was connected.
