This book, a collection of diary entries by magistrate and academic Mathieu Marais, chronicles the tumultuous events that unfolded in France during the regency of Philippe II, Duke of Orleans, following the death of Louis XIV in 1715. Filled with engaging anecdotes and keen observations, Marais's diary provides a fascinating glimpse into the political battles, social transformations, and financial calamities that shaped French society during this pivotal era. The text is a treasure trove of historical detail, offering insights into the rise and fall of prominent figures like John Law, the Scottish financier whose economic schemes brought France to the brink of financial ruin, and the struggles of the Parlement of Paris to maintain its authority against the encroachment of royal power. Through Marais's eyes, readers witness the interplay between religion, politics, and economics that defined this turbulent period in French history.
