The end of the eighteenth century witnessed the birth of modernity in the Western
world and provided the historical context for the personalities, events, and ideolo-
gies that are explored in this Encyclopedia of the Age of Political Revolutions and New
Ideologies. Indeed, the very idea of an encyclopédie was conceived during this period
in Denis Diderot’s great enterprise of the 1750s and 1760s, which was published
in 17 volumes of text and 11 volumes of plates. Its purpose was to bring together
the knowledge that had been accumulated in recent decades so that it could be
communicated to his contemporaries in an accessible form. This Enlightenment
project sought to overcome the explosion of print in so many domains and set it
before the lay reader, in the same way that these volumes seek to distill and dis-
seminate the even vaster quantities of information that have been gathered on
manifold aspects of the years 1760 to 1815. In both cases, the material is presented
in a succinct manner. Moreover, just as Diderot summoned his colleagues to assist
him in his huge and ambitious task, so numerous experts have been invited to con-
tribute their knowledge in a readable fashion as part of a significant team effort
for this project.
The object of their collective endeavor is to comprehend the great age of Atlantic
or Western revolution from the period 1760–1815, a concept that achieved con-
siderable currency in the 1960s, precisely 200 years after the events, following the
publication of Robert Palmer’s influential two-volume work, The Age of the Democratic
Revolution. Having attracted great interest around the time of its publication, the
thesis that the various upheavals of the late eighteenth century in western Europe
and America were in fact part of a single movement subsequently disappeared from
view. Some historians retreated into their national ghettoes as the explosion of his-
torical studies seemed to fragment the bigger picture and apparently rendered the
task of synthesis impossible. Others instead disputed the specific merits of a “bour-
geois revolution” in France, which celebrated its bicentenary in 1989 and seemed
to bear little resemblance to events on the other side of the Atlantic or even across
the English Channel. Yet recent developments in historiography suggest that this is
an idea whose time has come again. With the demise of Marxism and the renewed
value accorded to political and cultural dimensions of the historical process, there
x Foreword
is a fresh emphasis on broader movements and themes that embrace the wider
Western world.
Current studies emanating from the Napoleonic bicentenary certainly focus on
the empire rather than solely on France. Historians of the Revolution have been fol-
lowing suit, and no conference is now complete without its British, Spanish, Italian,
Dutch, and German contributors. This might simply seem to reflect the develop-
ment of a European Union, the establishment of which Napoleon once fraudulently
claimed to be seeking in the early nineteenth century. Yet the same historians have
also been reaching across the Atlantic to restore a colonial dimension to the French
Revolution. The Rights of Man appealed to black as well as white inhabitants of the
West Indies, in particular Saint-Domingue, the jewel in the French colonial crown.
Severe upheaval there eventuated in the abolition of slavery, at least for a time, and
then, in 1804, in the colony’s definitive independence as Haiti. The United States,
where a good number of French plantation owners sought refuge, has inevitably
been brought into this emerging narrative. Slavery and the slave trade, for which the
old imperial powers are belatedly apologizing, actually bound together the transat-
lantic destinies of the great maritime powers. They have found their rightful place
in this encyclopedia.
It has often been forgotten that before independence, and still to an extent
thereafter, the American colonies were regarded as part of the European world, and
there was frequent traffic, both cultural and commercial, between them. The British
connection requires little emphasis, while the relationship between France and the
United States has been characterized by amity as well as enmity. Yet the country that
supplied the Statue of Liberty to its transatlantic sister republic in the 1880s has long
acknowledged an intellectual affinity. It in no way detracts from the achievement
of the French revolutionaries, whose efforts are most extensively examined in this
volume, to suggest that the American Declaration of Independence sprang from
the same ideological roots as the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of
the Citizen. The fact that France joined the War of Independence on the side of the
Americans permitted the circulation in France of liberal ideas that would otherwise
have been censored. Contacts across the Channel were likewise enduring, although
a long and bitter war soon divided British and French in the 1790s. A member of
Parliament actually proposed commemorating the storming of the Bastille in 1790.
Meanwhile, many of the corresponding societies, whose members were referred to
as Jacobins, continued to be inspired by the French Republic, even after the out-
break of hostilities in 1793.
What we might loosely call “democratic” ideology, which aimed at more open
societies and greater participation in politics, undoubtedly spanned continents, and
America is rightly given its due here. Contemporaries were often more aware of
these links than historians have been, and many of the individuals to whom entries
are devoted in this encyclopedia were cosmopolitan figures. Thomas Paine offers
an especially good example. An Englishman who first played a revolutionary role in
America, he returned to Britain, where he published his celebrated Rights of Man
in 1792. This work served to increase his renown in France, and he was elected that
year to the National Convention, where he enjoyed a somewhat checkered career,
which was perhaps not helped by his inability to speak French. Yet his radicalism
was undimmed by a spell in prison during the Reign of Terror, and his commitment
to the cause of change continued. Thomas Jefferson traveled in the opposite

PREFACE
All serious studies of the modern world ultimately oblige us to examine the period of
revolutions of the late eighteenth century, which marked out that era as a distinctive
one in the political and social history of the Western world. The American and French
revolutions, in particular, encompassed fewer than 20 years between them, but as
they so dramatically shaped modern civilization, we cannot but acknowledge them
as pivotal events. This encyclopedia does not presume to offer new interpretations
of the events and people connected with the age of revolutions but rather seeks to
serve as a guide to students, teachers, and scholars who wish to understand the basic
concepts associated with the subject, the principal events, and the individuals who
by their actions and words gave this period its compelling character. If, by delving
into this work in search of a brief explanation of a subject, the reader is encouraged
to pursue further study on the subject, then the purpose this encyclopedia intends to
serve will have been fulfilled.
Readers will find subjects arranged alphabetically, complimented by a chronol-
ogy, bibliography, maps, guide to related topics, and primary source documents.
Most of the leading, and many of the minor, figures connected with the political
history of the period between 1760 and 1815 are included here, predominantly
but not exclusively those connected with America or France. The broad chron-
ological approach of this work is deliberate, for the origins of the two major
revolutions of the eighteenth century and their effects on the nations affected
by them in the decades prior to and following these great upheavals must be con-
sidered if we are to see them in their proper context. The American Revolution
may have begun in 1775, but its origins may be traced back a decade and more.
So, too, with the French Revolution, which, while moved in fits and starts for
about 10 years, could trace its origins to the early years of the eighteenth century.
Hence, readers will find entries on the principal political thinkers of that period,
as well as on the revolutionaries themselves and the events and places connected
with revolution. Cross-referencing directing the reader to related entries may
be found throughout, and each entry provides a list of sources for further study.
These lists are, in turn, supplemented by an extensive bibliographical section
xiv Preface
that readers may consult in search of the very wide range of secondary sources in
English on the subject of this encyclopedia. Readers can also consult the guide to
related topics to identify entries that share a common theme but whose connec-
tion is not necessarily close enough to justify inclusion in the “See also” section
of an entry.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
In the course of a single generation in the last quarter of the eighteenth century,
two events had a profound impact on Western society: the American and French
revolutions. A full understanding of the political culture of the West, whether of
the late eighteenth century or of today, cannot be complete without some knowl-
edge of the radical changes made to the social and political structures of Britain’s
North American colonies as they would affect the future of the United States, and
to France with respect to herself in particular, but, more broadly, to western and
central Europe. The basic political and social institutions of the Western world were
fundamentally shaped by these two revolutions, and the end of the eighteenth cen-
tury has not unnaturally been regarded as a turning point of history—a dividing line
between the early modern and late modern periods.
Despite the impact that the United States has made on the world since the Sec-
ond World War, the revolution that laid its foundation had relatively little immedi-
ate impact on the wider world. Yet for the American colonists themselves and for
the subsequent development of a nation that would in less than a century span
a continent and eventually emerge as the world’s leading military and economic
power, the American Revolution had nothing less than extraordinarily profound
implications for the future. Revolutions had occurred periodically throughout his-
tory, of course, but this one was fundamentally different, for the Americans boldly
asserted their “natural rights” and pursued the principles espoused by the philos-
ophes of the eighteenth century—an unprecedented step in political history. While
independence from Britain did not, in fact, number among the objectives of most
revolutionaries at the outbreak of hostilities in June 1775, little more than a year
later they would proclaim a republic based on political principles that the mother
country—in which the power of the monarchy was not absolute but restricted by
constitutional constraints—had never come to embrace despite the growing shift in
power from king to Parliament.
The republic permanently established in the United States after independence
in 1783 had no modern historical precedent, for it bore little relation to the British
political system, with its unreformed Parliament and extremely limited franchise.
The adoption of a written constitution—in which the powers and responsibilities of
