| Summary | "Chronique du crime et de l'innocence, tome 6/8" by J.-B.-J. Champagnac is a collection of accounts detailing historical crimes, including poisonings, murders, and political assassinations, likely written in the early 19th century. The text appears to compile dramatic and tragic events in French history, presenting a chronological narrative drawn from various chronicles, general histories of France, and judicial records. With a focus on the more heinous acts committed throughout history, the work seeks to illuminate the darker elements of human nature and society. At the start of the tome, the narrative delves into the notorious assassination of the Duc d'Enghien, painting a vivid picture of the political intrigue and treachery surrounding this historical figure. The text details his valor and noble lineage, alongside the circumstances of his betrayal by Napoleon's regime. It outlines the events leading to his capture and execution, highlighting themes of honor, justice, and the moral implications of political power. This opening sets the stage for a broader exploration of crime and innocence, establishing a somber tone that reflects on the human capacity for brutality amidst the weave of historical events.
