520    From the 1770s through the 1820s the French scientific 
       community predominated in the world to a degree that no 
       other scientific establishment did in any period prior to 
       the Second World War. In his classic Science and Polity in
       France: The End of the Old Regime, Charles Gillispie 
       analyzed the cultural, political, and technical factors 
       that encouraged scientific productivity on the eve of the 
       Revolution. In the present monumental and elegantly 
       written sequel to that work, which Princeton is reissuing 
       concurrently, he examines how the revolutionary and 
       Napoleonic context contributed to moderniz.
