Evidence: | Robert Southey to Charles Watkin Williams Wynn, 20 October 1797: 'I have procured an old translation of De Serres. but I am told the best account of the Maid [of Orleans] is in the Histoire de l’Eglise Gallican par Berthier,a book I have sought for in vain. in Weys book from Le Grand there is a note from the Journal of Paris at that period, relating to her, which furnished me with subject for some of my best lines — they relate to a place she frequented in Lorraine called the Fountain of the Fairies. do you know either of these books?'
