| Summary | "A Residence in France During the Years 1792, 1793, 1794 and 1795, Complete" by Biggs is a historical account written in the late 18th century. The book presents a series of letters from an English lady who provides personal observations about France during a tumultuous period marked by the Revolution. Through her letters, the author likely aims to shed light on the social and political changes occurring in France, as well as the character and manners of the French people at that time. The beginning of the narrative introduces the reader to the author’s sentiments about the shift in the revolutionary spirit since her previous visit. She notes a decline in enthusiasm among the French people, juxtaposing her experiences from 1790 with the present—a time marked by political dissensions and societal discomfort. Through her keen observations, she describes the general atmosphere, highlighting the impact of currency issues on daily life, the influence of revolutionary fervor on social interactions, and her reflections during a poignant military funeral. The letters establish a foundation for understanding the complexities of French societal evolution during the Revolution, preparing the reader for a deeper exploration of the events that follow.
