A biography of Mirabeau, French revolutionary and political leader whose life, prior to 1789, was characterized by wild excesses, which ruined his health and caused him to be repeatedly jailed�������several times at the request of his father, with whom he carried on a public quarrel. In 1785 he was exiled to England. In 1786 he was sent to Prussia on a secret mission. He betrayed his government�������s trust by publishing his unedited reports to Paris, which contained accounts of scandal and intrigue in the Prussian Court. He was a supporter of a constitutional monarchy and tried to reconcile the reactionary court of Louis XVI with the increasingly radical forces of the Revolution. Many of Mirabeau's efforts to achieve a reconciliation between the conflicting aspirations of conservatives and radicals often involved proposals that seemed way too extreme to some interests and way too moderate to others. He died in 1791.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
