Reading edition

gouvernement de 1846; by the Revolution of July, in 1830, the Bourbon monarchy, which had been restored after the downfall of Napoleon, in 1814, was in its turn overthrown. A constitutional monarchy was then established with Louis Philippe of Orleans, cousin of Louis XVIII., and of Charles X., as king. This Orleanist monarchy, always detested by the legitimist or Bourbon party, which included almost all of the old, aristocratic families, came to an end in 1848.
