Ebook: James Mackintosh's Vindiciae Gallicae: A Critical Edition (Studies in Modern History)

James Mackintosh's Vindici?¦ Gallic?¦ (1791) was a brilliant reply to Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France and Charles-Alexandre de Calonne's De l'?©tat de la France. Whig Opposition leader Charles James Fox rated it as the finest defence of the French Revolution. This edition offers an extensive editor's introduction, a fully annotated text of the first edition of Vindici?¦ Gallic?¦ and an appendix that includes the significant substantive revisions that Mackintosh made to Vindici?¦ Gallic?¦ in the late summer of 1791.
