To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It became increasingly necessary for some kind of compromise to be arranged if the deadlock were not to endure for ever. This was brought about by the withdrawing of the provoking edicts on the one part, and by the promise to register an edict prolonging for five years an existing tax known as the deuxieme ving- tieme on the other; "an incomplete victory," as Hailes terms it. A royal session of the Parlement, little less arbitrary than a lit de justice, was therefore held for registering a new ...loan of 420,000,000 livres, spread over five years, and an edict for the restoration of the civil status to Protestants, for which Malesherbes was mainly responsible. The King promised to convoke the States- General in 1791. During the debate that followed, the Duke of Orleans, cousin of the King and formerly Due de Chartres, Freteau de St. Just, and Sabathier raised opposition. This gave Louis considerable umbrage, and as a sequel the Duke was banished to his chateau at Villers-Cotterets, and the others were imprisoned.
