About This Book

The author recounts his passage into public life amid the decline of the Empire and the Bourbon Restoration, describing friendships with leading literary and political figures, his university lectures, and his appointment to the Ministry. He analyzes the causes and character of the Restoration, debates over the Charter, the composition and weaknesses of royal ministries, and policy issues including press laws and educational reform. He narrates the upheaval of the Hundred Days, responses of political factions and foreign powers, and estimates public discontent and conspiracies. Interwoven are personal reflections on liberty, national history, and the practical challenges of constitutional government.
