This selection of original documents in English translation examines the constitutional and political problems of France in the decade 1785-1795 through the writings of contemporaries. Originally published in 1981 but now substantially enlarged to give a much fuller picture of the pre-Revolutionary period, the Constituent Assembly, and the Terror, the collection provides an extraordinarily vivid guide to this key historical period.
