England and the Orléans Monarchy
by John Hall
About the author
Born in 1865, Sir John Richard Hall was the 9th Baronet of Dunglass. He served in the Coldstream Guards and later in the Irish Guards, and his military career shaped much of his writing.
Hall is remembered as the author of England and the Orleans Monarchy, published in 1912. The book examines British relations with France during the reign of the House of Orléans and shows his strong interest in 19th-century diplomacy and political history.
He succeeded to the baronetcy in 1913 and died in 1928. Some library and catalog records also connect him with writing on the Coldstream Guards and the Boer War, though the historical study of Anglo-French relations is the work most clearly confirmed in the sources reviewed here.
