[Jocelyn Shaw]

Hi,

I have a patron who is looking for the book written by the Countess
d'Autier, aka Marquise de la Rochebriant.  She is quoted in a New York Times
story from May 30, 1909.  It was a book written on Americans and America.
Her maiden name was Martha Fredika and she was of the ducal house of
Mecklenberg-Schwerin, was born in Stockholm and in 1899 married Roger Comte
d'Autier, Marquis de la Rochebriant.  From the Times article, "The Marquise
then turned the conversation to the subject of her book, one which will
portray in a kindly spirit, she said, the American man and woman, as she
found them."  Unfortunately, the name of the book is not in the article.  I
checked WorldCat, but couldn't find anything by author.  I also Googled her
name, but only came up with the article that I already have.  Apparently,
the patron is this woman's nephew and he would like to find out more about
the book.  Any clues??

Jocelyn
