I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fear. Ps. xxxiv. 4.
This individual, who is described as a little man, of aristocratic appearance, was another of the many pretenders who have from time to time assumed the character of Louis XVII., and his story was so evidently false that it would scarcely be worth mention were it not for the fate which befell him.
