No Royal Observance Marks Seventh of August in France
A long oblique summary notes the end of official observance of Louis Philippe's 1830 crown acceptance on August 7, 1830, in Orleans and select cities as the Duke of Orlean's followers shy from celebration amid recent scandals. It details his personal life, alias Toto la Gamelle, and a history of scandals, plus a digression on long fasting from Dr. Tanner in 1880 and future cautions about fasting, ending with local ads for fresh fish and ale.
