9 March [1817 in another hand]. Hedvig Gustava Albertina, Baroness de Staël-Holstein or simply Albertine (17971838), was the daughter of Erik Magnus Staël von Holstein and Madame de Staël, the granddaughter of Jacques Necker and Suzanne Curchod, wife to Victor, 3rd duc de Broglie, and mother to Albert, a French monarchist politician. Her biological father may have been the author Benjamin Constant. Albertina, still very much part of the de Staël circle, shared her grandfather's anglomania, and introduced her husband to the "erudite society that centred around that family". Victor de Broglie Souvenirs recall their married life and the political storms that surrounded it. Her letters were collected and edited by her son Albert and published in French and in English by Robert Baird as Transplanted flowers, or memoirs of Mrs. Rumpff, daughter of John Jacob Astor, Esq. and the Duchess de Broglie, daughter of Madame de Stael (1846).…

Letters of Anne Louise Germaine Necker, Barron s de Stael-Holstein (1766-1817), daughter of Suzanne Curchot and Jacques Necker, finance manager to Louis XVI. Her interest in philosophy began with a study of Rousseau, whose fervent admirer she remained throughout her life. Stael never questioned the absolute value of personal liberty. This belief she attributed to Protestantism, her family religion. To her, Protestantism rested on the principle of person interpretation, and the source of one s convictions was to be looked for in the heart, just as it was in the teachings of Rousseau s Savoyard Vicar.
