Description:
With the passing of Louis XIV, the old hostility between the robe and the sword, between men who were acutely aware of their high judicial dignities and other men who felt themselves superior to all whose status rested on anything but valor, actual or ancestral, began with renewed vigor. The struggle for political power between two antagonistic groups of aristocrats is the substance of Mr. Ford's absorbing book.
