The Palace and Park by Phillips, Forbes, Latham, Owen, Scharf, and Shenton

[Born 1756. Died 1825. Aged 69.] From 1799, Elector, and from 1806, King of Bavaria. The year that he saw his Duchy raised to the dignity of a kingdom, Maximilian, who for some years was the faithful ally of Napoleon, gave his daughter in marriage to Eugène Beauharnois. In 1813, the Bavarian king, acting in the true interests of his country and of humanity, joined the allies against France, and helped with them to rescue Germany from the fangs of the French invader. In public as well as private life, Maximilian was courteous, benevolent, simple-minded, and true-hearted. [By Stiglmayer. In marble. It is in the Palace at Munich.
