Reviews"This is a book of social history that renews the old political history. It is an economist's investigation that raises questions about collective psychology, mentalities, and levels of culture ... [a work of] erudite virtuosity ... a great work." --Daniel Roche, Collge de France, "Broadly conceived, richly detailed, thoroughly researched in the national and local archives, and generously larded with suggestions for future study, this is a piece of work that must delight and inform any student of France under the Old Regime. It is likely to remain, for many years to come, the definitive work on the subject." --Keith M. Baker, Stanford University
