The continuation of Alexis de Tocqueville's great meditation on the origins and meanings of the French Revolution.

With his monumental work The Old Regime and the Revolution, Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-59)--best known for his classic Democracy in America--envisioned a multivolume philosophical study of the origins of modern France that would examine the implications of French history on the nature and development of democratic society. Volume I, which covered the eighteenth-century background to the Revolution, was published to great acclaim in 1856. On the continuation of this project, he wrote: When this Revolution has finished its work, [this volume] will show what that work really was, and what the new society which has come from that violent labor is, what the Revolution has taken away and what it has preserved from that old regime against which it was directed.
