Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Richelieu and the Growth of French Power
The literature in reference to Richelieu is also very voluminous. The great work of M. Hanotaux, when complete, will contain the most valuable ac count oi Richelieu's life that has appeared. With such diligence and ability has M. Hanotaux studied his subject that his work will remain, I think, the permanent record of the career of the great Cardinal. This Life of Richelieu, when finished, will comprise four large volumes, and its Size will perhaps deter the ordinary reader, but it is none too full for any one who wishes to familiarise himself with French history during the important period covered by Richelieu's administration.
