The Origins of Contemporary France: The Ancient Regime is a historical book written by Hippolyte A. Taine, a French philosopher and historian. The book explores the political, social, and cultural factors that shaped France during the period of the Ancient Regime, which lasted from the 16th century until the French Revolution in 1789. Taine provides a detailed analysis of the monarchy, the aristocracy, and the church, as well as the economic and intellectual conditions of the time. He argues that the Ancient Regime was characterized by a rigid social hierarchy, a centralized government, and a dominant Catholic Church. The book also examines the impact of the Enlightenment on French society and the emergence of new ideas about individual rights, democracy, and freedom. Taine describes how these ideas challenged the traditional order and eventually led to the French Revolution. Overall, The Origins of Contemporary France: The Ancient Regime is a comprehensive and insightful account of one of the most significant periods in French history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the origins of modern France and the forces that shaped its development.The taxation authorities, however, in thus bearing down on taxable property has not released the taxable person without property. In the absence of land it seizes on men. In default of an income it taxes a man's wages. With the exception of the vingti�����mes, the preceding taxes not only bore on those who possessed something but, again, on those who possessed nothing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
