Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Plot of the Placards at Rennes, 1802
The work here offered to the English reader appeared first in the Revue des Deuce Mondes (october 15 - December 1, 1902) and has since been 'published as a volume. It forms the first of a series of studies promised by M. Augustin-thierry, under the general title of Conspirateurs et Gens de Police. The history of the Rennes Conspiracy is here brought from the obscurity of police archives into the full light of day, and presented with the lively narrative style of which M. Thierry is a master. Owing to the bushing-up of its details, the reasons for which are sufficiently set forth in the Epilogue of the present work, the plot has been passed over by most writers with a brief mention, while some (see Appendix as to Marbot) have treated it as a theme for variations.
