The "July Revolution" of 1830 in France overthrew the King, brought
down the Bourbon dynasty, and ended the fifteen-year era known as
the Restoration. lt established the "July Monarchy" of
Louis-Philippe, citizen King of the Hause of Orleans, a regime also
destined for extinction eighteen years later. Although the 1848
revolt is of somewhat greater domestic political importance and
considerably greater in its European scope and its social
implications, the July Revolution of 1830 should not be relegated
to the lower Ievels of historical consciousness. Yet, in modern
times, even in France, relatively few works have been published
concerning either the Restoration or the revolution which
terminated it. New interpretations, such as the excellent works of
Bertier de Sauvigny and David Pinkney have awakened the enthusiasm
of scholars; but in general, the intrinsic importance of this
period has been slighted for nearly a century. There are reasons
for this inattention: At first glance, the era seems retrograde,
born of a conservative reaction; and placid - it falls between
Napoleon's giant earthquake on one side, and on the other, the
dynamics of European nationalism, imperialism, and the class
struggle. But the Restoration was neither archaic nor calm. lt was,
for all its manifest anachronisms, an age of rapid political,
cultural, and social growth. France, during these years, was
maturing and ripening toward nationhood - and toward the collision
of many complex forces, culminating in revolution."
