The Conspiracy Of Kings; A Poem: Addressed To The Inhabitants Of Europe, From Another Quarter Of The World., Joel Barlow, John D. Baird

Electronic Texts in American Studies

The Conspiracy of Kings, published in February 1792, is very much a work of its time, the first months of the constitional monarchy in France.
