History of the Counter-Revolution in England

This 1846 publication contains two historical works by French authors. The first is Armand Carrel's "History of the Counter-Revolution in England" covering the reigns of Charles II and James II. The second is C. J. Fox's "History of the Reign of James II." The OCR'd biographical memoir introduces Carrel himself—a young French officer who fled military service in 1823 due to liberal political views, joined foreign units fighting Spanish constitutionalists against Bourbon forces, was captured at Figuères, and faced multiple courts-martial in France before acquittal. The memoir traces his subsequent career shift from military to journalism and collaboration with historian Augustin Thierry on works including a summary of Scottish history. The text emphasizes his political commitment, literary abilities, and eventual prominence in French letters, though portions remain difficult to read due to OCR degradation.
