1797 1^ed Persecutions of a Frenchman Bouillod French Revolution France Prisons

Joseph Bouillod’s ‘Persecutions of a Frenchman’ is a curious late 18^th-century biographical account of the author’s own unjust arrest because of corruption within the French judicial system. This work is now an important first-hand account of life during the French Revolution detailing the financial difficulties caused by the French monarchy. This work describes the state of French prisons and civil procedures and uses fine, full-page illustrations to depict many of these views.
