Sylvia Neely provides both the first scholarly study of Lafayettes life after the French Revolution and a detailed analysis of French politics during the early Restoration.Lafayette, advocating a liberalism based on the American example, used both legal and illegal means to overturn a conservative government. The personification of liberalism for many of his contemporaries, he and his friends Benjamin Constant, Voyer dArgenson, and Charles Goyet saw themselves as fighters in an international struggle that set liberalism against the forces of reaction and obscurantism. Although he ultimately failed, Lafayette was convinced that the liberal ideals derived from the Enlightenment and from his personal mentor, George Washington, would prevail.Neely makes Lafayettes actions clear by considering seriously the principles that guided his life and by describing the political climate of the early nineteenth century. She discloses previously overlooked features of the revolutions of the 1820s which account for the divisions among the revolutionary groups. She also examines relationships between Lafayette and the prominent writers and thinkers of the period, among them Augustin Thierry, Jeremy Bentham, Lady Morgan, and Frances Wright.

Acknowledgments
I would like to thank Stanley Idzerda, Linda Pike, and others at the Lafayette Papers Project who unselfishly shared their accumulation of materials with me and offered encouragement at an early stage of my research. Alan B. Spitzer told me about the valuable collection of Voyer d'Argenson materials at the Universit de Poitiers. I especially wish to thank Mme Dominique Parcollet, who generously gave me access to her copies of the Charles Goyet correspondence. Closer to home, the staff of the University of Notre Dame Library was always helpful and understanding, especially Sue Dietl and Pam Paidle. I could not have done my work without the support of the interlibrary loan department of the Helmke Library at Indiana UniversityPurdue University at Fort Wayne. The late Ruth Harrod, Cheryl Truesdell, and their staffs searched diligently for the items I needed. I wish to thank the history department of the University of Notre Dame and the Summer Grants Program at IPFW for financial support for my research. Stanley Idzerda and Linda Pike read the manuscript and offered helpful suggestions for improvement.
