No detailed description available for "Incidence of the Terror during the French Revolution".

During this period, Exeter was characterized by its self-sufficiency and by an oligarchical control over every aspect of its civic life. MacCaffrey describes a semi-autonomous world in itself, in which a small interlocked group of merchant families, related by marriage, kept tight control over the economy, politics, religion, education and social activities.
