The Ancient Regime (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419152245)

The Ancient Regime is a historical non-fiction book written by Charles Kingsley. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the political and social structure of France during the 18th century, specifically during the reign of Louis XIV. Kingsley examines the various institutions and systems that were in place during this time, including the monarchy, the nobility, the church, and the legal system. He also explores the economic and cultural factors that contributed to the downfall of the Ancien R�����gime and the outbreak of the French Revolution. The book is a comprehensive and detailed account of one of the most significant periods in French history, and provides valuable insights into the political and social forces that shaped the country's future. It is a must-read for anyone interested in French history or the history of Europe in general.For by that time the mighty spiritual struggles and fierce religious animosities of the preceding century had worn themselves out. And, as always happens, to a period of earnest excitement had succeeded one of weariness, disgust, half-unbelief in the many questions for which so much blood had been shed. No man had come out of the battle with altogether clean hands.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
