""The Conspiracy of Babeuf"" is a historical account written by Nesta H. Webster about the French revolutionary Fran�����ois-No�����l Babeuf and his failed attempt to overthrow the Directory government in 1796.

She also delves into the wider political and social context of the time, including the impact of the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.
