Description
Preface: This second part of ?Les Origines de la France Contemporaine? will consist of two volumes. -- Popular insurrections and the laws of the Constituent Assembly end in destroying all government in France; this forms the subject of the present volume. -- A party arises around an extreme doctrine, grabs control of the government, and rules in conformity with its doctrine. This will form the subject of the second volume.
