History of the Counter-Revolution in England

This volume contains History of the Counter-Revolution in England under Charles II and James II by Armand Carrel, translated by William Hazlitt, along with History of the Reign of James II by C.J. Fox. The primary content is a biographical memoir of French political journalist and former military officer Armand Carrel (1800–1836). The memoir chronicles his career as a sub-lieutenant who fought for Spanish constitutionalists in Catalonia in 1823 as part of the Foreign Liberalist Legion, then faced multiple courts-martial upon returning to France. Acquitted after refusing a pardon, his military career ended. The memoir traces his subsequent transition to journalism and work as secretary to historian Augustin Thierry, assisting with research and editing the Histoire de la Conquête d'Angleterre par les Normands. The text concludes with biographical details of Carrel's early life and military education at Saint Cyr.
