After the 1848 Revolution, the Austrian government carefully supervised all citizens who had compromised themselves in one way or another during the revolution and was very suspicious of any statements which questioned the authorities or libelled the emperor or the state. This supervision was carried out mainly by the police and constabulary, creating a situtaion in which denunciation prospered. All this spying, pursuing and reporting produced a lot of records which facilitate research into contemporary events and mentality.
