About This Book

An autobiographical defense by a politician who recounts his conduct during the popular upheavals of 1848–49, explaining efforts to reconcile democratic forces with representative authority and to promote national unity. He narrates administrative decisions taken to preserve order, the restoration of the old government, subsequent arrest and a long criminal prosecution charging treason, and the difficulties of mounting a defense without access to ministerial archives. The text juxtaposes personal memory, legal argument, and documentary material gathered from the accusation to rebut official claims and to appeal for an impartial higher tribunal.
