James Mackintosh's Vindici Gallic (1791) was a brilliant reply to Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France and Charles-Alexandre de Calonne's De l'tat de la France. Whig Opposition leader Charles James Fox rated it as the finest defence of the French Revolution. This edition offers an extensive editor's introduction, a fully annotated text of the first edition of Vindici Gallic and an appendix that includes the significant substantive revisions that Mackintosh made to Vindici Gallic in the late summer of 1791.
