Montalembert's Un Debat led to his persecution and imprisonment; the second booklet translation: Letter on French History addressed to Prince Napoleon (Napoleon's cousin], this booklet was also seized leading to the arrest and condemnation of the editor. The next three deal with issues of the Rio de la Plata in terms of politics, economics and related issues, The final booklet deals with Russia and its Railroads. Barrault was devoted to the railroad in Russia, and the construction of network of 4,000 kilometers shortly after the Crimean War. These were all controversial issues especially to the French government which used censorship, imprisonment and death in an attempt to prevent their wider distribution.
