| | Conservatism |
| | The remaining three selections in this discussion of the theory of conservatism are from Friedrich von Gentz (1762-1832), an Austrian political writer and advisor to Metternich; the Vicomte de Bonald (1754-1840), a prominent French minister after the restoration of the Bourbon Monarchy; and from Blackwood's Magazine, the leading British conservative journal. | | | The third document is by Prince Klemens Wenzel von Metternich (1773-1859), the masterful statesman who, as chancellor of the Hapsburg empire, engineered the coalition that toppled Napoleon and reshaped the European world in a conservative restoration that lasted until 1848. | | | Count Joseph Marie de Maistre (1753-1821), a French conservative and strong opponent of Napoleon, wrote our second selection in 1809, while in exile in Russia. |
