About this book

The preceding volume recounted the final stages of the rapid march that in 1852 led the Prince-President Louis Napoleon to assume the title of Napoleon III: the senatus consultum of 7 November, the overwhelming 'yes' of the French people in the plebiscite of 21 and 22 November and, finally, the issuing, on 2 December, of a decree promulgating the earlier senatus consultum and proclaiming the Empire.
