About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The French Revolution Volume II The Constitution by Thomas Carlyle. Read in English by Gillian Hendrie Thomas Carlyle, the Scottish essayist, philosopher, and historian, wrote this three-volume work, first published in 1837 (with a revised edition in print by 1857), which charts the course of the French Revolution from 1789 to the height of the Reign of Terror (1793–94) and culminates in 1795. A massive undertaking which draws together a wide variety of sources, Carlyle's history—despite the unusual style in which it is written—is considered to be an authoritative account of the early course of the Revolution. - Summary from Wikipedia
