From the library of Henri d’Artois, Comte de Chambord, with his library stamp as Henri V of France! The book, that is about prosecutions during the French Revolution, is dedicated to his mother Marie-Caroline of Bourbon, Duchess de Berry, who also have written the preface. Henri, Comte de Chambord, (1820-83) was on two occasions close to become Henri V of France. At the revolution in 1830 his grandfather Charles X abdicated and Charles eldest son, Louis-Antoine de Bourbon, Duke of Angoulême denounced the throne. Left as the Bourbon pretendent was the 10 year old Henri, son to Charles X:s younger son Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry who had been assassinated before Henri was born. Many thought that Henri now should be crowned, but he was replaced by his cousin Louis Philippe, the ”Citizen King”. Instead Henri and his mother had to go into exile. His supporters were called Legitimists, to distinguish them from the Orléanists, the supporters of the family of Louis Philippe. A second occasion appeared after the fall of Napoleon III in 1870, and now all stood united behind Henri. However, he insisted that he could accept the crown on condition that France abandoned its tricolour flag (associated with the French Revolution) and return to the use of the fleur de lys flag, the historic royal arms of France. He rejected any compromises, so the tricolour would remain the national flag and France would continued as a republic. Pope Pius IX, upon hearing Henri's decision, notably remarked "And all that, all that for a napkin”. To Stockholm’s Catholic office several fine books were donated by the priest Joseph Prosper Bole (1810-90) who had been Confessor to Comte de Chambord and who might very well have received or inherit books from him. The books were sold at auctions in Stockolm in the 1990s.
