Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Contemporary France, Vol. 2: 1873 1875
The present volume contains the history of the two first cabinets of the Duc de Broglie (may 1873 to May 1874) and an account of the double failure of the attempt to restore the monarchy. The Comte de Chambord was set aside after his letter of October 27th, 1873. The septennate was organised as a provisional system. Soon after wards, the National Assembly, by turning out the Duc de Broglie at the moment when he offered it a constitutional system, ruined, in anticipation, the hopes of the House of Orleans. The monarchical past of France was bankrupt, leaving a clear field to the Republic. In spite of the original inclinations of the Assembly, the Republic was voted by a majority of one in February 1875.
