Abstract
In this book, David Garrioch sets out to fill a surprising lacuna in anglophone historiography on France. The past quarter‐century has seen a burgeoning specialized literature on the city of Paris in the eighteenth century, exploring every aspect of its urban geography, social life, and political history in the run‐up to and during the French Revolution. Yet so far there has been no survey or synthesis of such writing for a wider English‐speaking audience. Garrioch, who has already contributed two important monographs to the recent historiography, would seem to be the ideal candidate to fill the gap. In many ways, his book succeeds admirably in its aims. There can be few historians who possess Garrioch's command of the Parisian archives, or who have made so thorough a study of the vast and growing secondary literature on the city. His synthesis of these sources is presented in unfailingly concise and elegant prose, accompanied by a wealth of apt illustrations and photographs. This work will serve for years to come as an effective launching pad for further research. At the same time, however, readers who are expecting a major statement on the role of Paris in the origins and development of the French Revolution may well be disappointed. For after what appears to be a long wind‐up pointing in just this direction, Garrioch's book reaches curiously cautious and equivocal conclusions, that fall short of the title's promise.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
