Publisher's Synopsis
Memoirs Relating To The French Revolution is a historical account of the French Revolution written by Fran�����ois-Claude-Amour, Marquis de Bouill�����. The book was first published in 1797, two years after the end of the Revolution. Bouill����� was a French general who played a significant role in the early stages of the Revolution, but later became a critic of the revolutionary government. In his memoirs, he offers a firsthand account of the events leading up to the Revolution, including the financial crisis that precipitated the collapse of the monarchy, the storming of the Bastille, and the rise of the Jacobins. Bouill����� also provides a detailed description of the military campaigns that took place during the Revolution, including the Battle of Valmy and the Siege of Lille. The book is considered an important historical document, as Bouill����� was an eyewitness to many of the events he describes. However, his perspective is often criticized for being biased against the revolutionary government and for portraying himself in a favorable light. Despite these criticisms, Memoirs Relating To The French Revolution remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of this period.Also Contains Proceedings Of The French National Convention On The Trial Of Louis XVI.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
