Description

""Interesting Letters on the French Revolution"" is a collection of letters written by Pierre Victor Malouet, a French politician and diplomat, during the turbulent period of the French Revolution. The book was originally published in 1795, at a time when the Revolution was still ongoing and the outcome was uncertain. Malouet's letters provide a unique perspective on the events of the Revolution, as he was a moderate who opposed the radicalism of the Jacobins and the violence of the Reign of Terror. The book is divided into two parts. The first part consists of Malouet's letters to his friend and fellow politician, the Marquis de Condorcet, written between 1789 and 1792. In these letters, Malouet expresses his concerns about the direction of the Revolution and the growing power of the radical factions. He also discusses his own political views and his efforts to promote moderation and compromise in the National Assembly.The second part of the book consists of Malouet's letters to his son, written between 1793 and 1794, while Malouet was in exile in England. In these letters, Malouet reflects on the events of the Revolution and their impact on France and Europe. He also discusses his own experiences as a political exile and his hopes for the future of France.Overall, ""Interesting Letters on the French Revolution"" provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a moderate French politician during one of the most tumultuous periods in European history. Malouet's insights and observations are still relevant today, as we continue to grapple with the legacy of the French Revolution and its impact on modern politics and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
