The History of the French Revolution from 1789 to 1814 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161435016)

The History of the French Revolution from 1789 to 1814 is a comprehensive account of the events that led to one of the most significant political upheavals in European history. Written by F.A.M. Mignet, a prominent French historian of the 19th century, this book chronicles the events that unfolded during the revolutionary period in France, including the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte and the subsequent downfall of the French Empire.Mignet's account provides a detailed analysis of the social, economic, and political factors that contributed to the revolution, as well as the key individuals and groups that played a role in shaping its outcome. He explores the tensions between the monarchy and the people, the emergence of revolutionary factions, and the impact of foreign powers on the conflict.Throughout the book, Mignet provides a balanced and nuanced perspective on the revolution, drawing on a range of primary sources and historical documents to present a comprehensive and authoritative account of this pivotal moment in European history. With its detailed analysis and engaging writing style, The History of the French Revolution from 1789 to 1814 is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of France and the wider European continent.Bonaparte, who had destroyed the liberty of the press, created exceptional tribunals, and who had departed more and more from the principles of the revolution, felt that before he went further it was necessary to break entirely with the liberal party of the 18th Brumaire. In Ventose, year X. (March, 1802), the most energetic of the tribunes were dismissed by a simple operation of the senate. The tribunate was reduced to eighty members, and the legislative body underwent a similar purgation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
