    • Abstract:
      The author discusses the social and psychological implications of the Nineteenth century revolutions of 1830, 1848, and 1870-1871 in France to the bourgeois, or middle class. He uses the experiences chronicled in the writings of Jean-Baptiste Monfalcon of Lyon, France as a basis for his analysis. Monfalcon was a journalist, doctor, and librarian in France's second largest city. He was also a prolific writer who produced works on the classics, medicine, issues of public health, as well as an autobiography.
