Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès, What is the Third Estate? (1789)

Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyes (1748-1836) was the son of a minor financial official whose search for advancement through a church career had brought him by 1788 to the position of vicar-general in the diocese of Chartres. So successful was his pamphlet that he was elected deputy of the Third Estate of Paris despite his clerical status.
