Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Reigns of Louis XVIII, Vol. 1 of 2: And Charles X
IT would be idle to enumerate the sources of almost contemporary history. The journals of a parliamentary period are ample storehouses of material, of which the use is facilitated by the excellent Annuaire, or French Annual Register. The pamphlets, so numerous when ever the daily press was restricted, and the monthly or bi-monthly periodicals, are the records of opinion and argument. The Memoirs of the period, sufficiently numerous With reference to the first years of the Restoration, but much fewer as it advances, have been referred to by name for facts or Opinions which at all differ from those generally recounted or received. The French histories of the Restoration must themselves be regarded in the light of original and genuine sources of information; the writers of them having derived much of their knowledge from personal relations and from their connexion with political party.
