‎Paris, A. Henry , Décembre 1831. 30 pp. 8vo. Modern boards. Not in Charléty, Bibliographie de Lyon. At head of title: (No 238). Casimir-Pierre Périer (1777-1832), banker, political leader, and minister. With his brother Scipion, he organized and directed the banking house of Périer and Frères in Paris, and they moved into insurance, textiles, sugar refining, flour miling, iron, and coal. Both served as regents of the Bank of France. In 1817 Casimir won election as a deputy of Paris, and he sat in the Chamber of Deputies from that day untill his death in 1832. Originally a member of the government majority, he was, after 1820, increasingly alienated by the politics of the ultraroyalists and shifted into the opposition. In March 1831 he accepted the king's call to head a new conservative ministry. For the next thirteen months as president of the Council and minister of the interior, he imposed his authoritarian and conservative rule on France and on his associates. He excluded the king from meetings of the ministry, denied his ministers all independence of action, restricted the political activities of civil servants, and ruthlessly suppressed popular disorder. The present work deals with the attitude of the government regarding the insurrection of the Lyon workers in November 1831. The uprising of 1831 and 1834 marked the final efforts of France's most militant preindustrial work force to secure decent incomes and a voice in the management of an industry in which their influence had steadily declined (Historical Dictionary of France from the 1815 Restauration to the Second Empire, vol. I, pp. 653 ff. and vol. II, pp. 791-792). ‎
