Pre-owned. The author, Lecturer in French at Cambridge University, explains the main ideas which form the underlying structure of French politics, and outlines the attitude of the civil servants and the public towards the State. In his analysis of French society, he pays particular attention, inter alia, to what he regards as a fundamental aspect of any society: its organisation of justice and the conceptions that lie behind it. Further chapters discuss the ideas with which France has sought to consolidate her Empire; and the French mentality as it appears in France’s economic life. Book in good condition. Slight marking to tops of pages and jacket with slight tears to top and base of spine. First Edition. Hardcover. Published by Ernest Benn Limited 1954
