Europe Under the Old Regime

“This is a translation of the introductory section of “L'Europe et la Révolution francaise” by Albert Sorel. Although half a century old his work is still the outstanding account of the European state system of the eighteenth century and one of the best introductions to Revolutionary and Napoleonic diplomacy… The volume should be of value to the student of modern European history, for it brings out ‘the fundamental character of diplomacy, war, and revolution in the twentieth century as well as under the old regime.’ Professor Herrick's translation is well written, and it preserves the thought and expression of the original.” – “The American Historical Review”
