The Modern Regime V1 is a book written by Hippolyte A. Taine. It is a historical analysis of the political and social changes that occurred in Europe during the 19th century.

It expands unceasingly the circle of a tenacious and rapacious grasp, which regards all resistance as offensive, which all independence annoysThis scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
