This is the first complete study of Charles Gravier, Comte de Vergennes, one of the most distinguished diplomats and statesmen of eighteenth-century France. Vergennes represented France as a diplomat in Germany, Constantinople, and Stockholm, and was Louis XVI's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Orville Murphy traces Vergennes' career as he steadily rose from the provincial nobility of the robe to the ranks of the court aristocracy; from the post of an obscure diplomat to the lofty position of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Murphy, however, has written much more than an interesting biography. The book develops a link between diplomatic personalities, the foreign policies of the French kings Louis XV and Louis XVI, and the contemporary social, economic, and political problems during much of the eighteenth century. Indeed, Vergennes and his policies are central to any study of the American Revolution, the underlying causes of the French Revolution, and of the subsequent "Age of Revolutions" in Europe.

The comte de Vergennes is best known as one of the great foreign ministers of modern French history, but for much of the 1780s he was also first minister in all but name. This 1995 book was the first to deal in depth with the critical part he played in French domestic policies on the eve of the Revolution. It studies Vergennes' role in the context of the debate on the nature and future of the French monarchy in the two decades before the Revolution. His financial reforms, fully examined here, were the last attempt to restructure the monarchy in accordance with its traditional principles. The failure of this undertaking accelerated the final collapse of the royal government. Preserving the Monarchy is based on archival research, as well as reinterpretations of the established sources. The result is a significant study, not merely of Vergennes but of the end of the ancien régime.

The correspondence between Louis XVI and his foreign secretary the comte de Vergennes represents a major new source for the history of French diplomacy and warfare in the last years of the ancien r gime. New light is shed on France's intervention in the American War of Independence - and in particular on how and why the king's decision to intervene was taken; on the Franco-Austrian alliance, and the pacte de famille with Spain. But since Vergennes was also from 1783 chef du conseil royal des finances, we learn too about the credit crisis of 1783 and the abortive attempt to end tax-farming, the diamond necklace affair, and the plans for the Assembly of Notables. Moreover the nearly 200 letters from the king, largely unpublished and still in the possession of the Vergennes family, allow us for the first time to grasp the outlines of the kind's mind and character, his sense of humour, his turn of phrase. Hitherto fewer than fifty of his letters were known for the period before 1789, many of dubious authenticity. Given Louis's extreme taciturnity and shyness it is simply not possible to know the man except through his letters. These are more plentiful for for the revolutionary period, but Louis's character changed at the that time: he became more uxorious, for example, whereas before 1787 he had rigidly excluded Marie-Antoinette from decision-making. In the earlier period, with which this book is concerned, Louis was also harder, more decisive, more on top of his subject - foreign policy - which itself was later displaced as his main concern. The letters are set in context throughout, with extracts from the diplomatic despatches which generate most of them, and the foreign policy of the reign up to the Revolution is reassessed in a substantial introductory essay.
