This second part of a seven-volume facsimile set comprises firsthand accounts of France in the 1790s. Helen Maria Williams' letters narrate the fall of Robespierre in 1794 and her 1798 book on Switzerland comments sceptically on the necessary coexistence of liberty with peace. Charlotte West, who, like Williams, celebrated the fall of the Bastille but was later imprisoned by the republic, records the corruption, paranoia and violence of the Terror both in the provinces and in Paris. The key features includes: all texts are republished in full; selected for their rarity, the texts are drawn from Chawton House's unparalleled collection; and, most of the texts included have never before been republished. Each set in the series includes a substantial general introduction, headnotes, endnotes and a consolidated index in their final volume. Each facsimile page is digitally cleaned and enhanced, significantly improving on the quality and legibility of the original.
