    • Abstract:
      The Marquis Costa de Beauregard has published several volumes relating to the history of his own family, an old family of Savoy, France and Italy, long devoted to the Dukes of Savoy, and which has become French since the annexation of that province to France after the battle of Solferino. The book "Le Roman d'un Royaliste sous la Révolution" is the history of Comte de Virieu, one of the men who, after having first espoused the cause of the French Revolution, became its victims. Henri de Virieu was born on April 5, 1754. His father died when he was four years old. The young man had the enthusiastic ideas of his generation about nature and man.
