Explore "The Ancien Regime" by Charles Kingsley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
[Delivered at the Royal Institution, London, 1867.]
These Lectures are meant to be comments on the state of France before the French Revolution. To English society, past or present, I do not refer. For reasons which I have set forth at length in an introductory discourse, there never was any Ancien Regime in England.
