Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of France for Young People T is hard to realize, as one travels now through fertile France and sees the well-tilled fields, noble cities, and vineyards heavy with their purple fruit, that it was once covered by tangled for ests, whose only inhabitants were wild beasts and men nearly as savage as they. Indeed, one might almost have mistaken the man for the animal at a little dis tance, for they both wore coverings of Skins and never combed their hair; but when you saw the human being drinking out Of a cup formed from the skull of his enemy, then you knew he must be a man, for wild beasts are not so revengeful. The Old name for France was Gaul, and the people who lived there before the time of Christ are supposed to have come from Central Asia, and to have belonged to one of the fierce races called Celtic, which Spread over the western part Of Europe before history begins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young Folks History of France These Stories 011 the History of France are meant for children perhaps a year older than those on the History of England. They try to put such facts as need most to be remembered in a comprehensible form, and to attach some real characteristic to each reign; though, in later political history, it is difficult to translate the leading ideas into anything that can enter art intellect of seven or eight years old. The gentleman who, some time ago, recommended leaching history backwards from our own time, could never have practically tried how much harder it is to make la Charte or the Reform Bill interesting to the childish mind, than how King Robert fed the beggars or William Rufus was killed by an arrow. Early history is generally personal, and thus can be far more easily recollected than that which concerns the multitude, who are indeed everything to the philanthropist, but are nothing to the child.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of France, in Question and Answer, From Pharamond to Napoleon, Arranged in Centuries, Lines, and Houses, With Consorts and Children, Contemporaries in England, Germany, Spain, and the Papacy Since the excellent works of Mrs. Markam and Mrs. Jameson have caused the History of France to form part in the general reading of young persons, it is hoped that the following pages may be found profitable to be committed to memory. With the exception of Pinnock's short Catechism, there is not any similar Class Book on the French History. As works of reference, the pages of Anquetil, Mezerai, Gifford, and Philippe de Commines have been consulted; and in the arrangement of the whole, it has been the desire of the Author, as much as possible, to interest, as well as to benefit the pupil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the French Revolution: Its Causes and Consequences IN the little work here presented to the public, the faults of the people are more insisted upon than those of the rulers, because it is written for the former, not for the latter, and because, if the latter have a lesson to learn from history, the for mer have a still greater one, and one that, if well learnt by them, will suffice for both. Despotism and tyranny are almost impossible evils in our day, but the love of liberty is so great, that the impor tant task now is to enlighten and to regulate that love, so that, in their headlong career for the attainment of a good, the people place not them selves in the way of the very evils they seek to avoid. They have to learn, that for nations as for individuals, happiness depends upon virtue and wisdom, and that therefore liberty, which is hap piness, does not mean merely freedom from re straint, and cannot be attained through crimes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A. E. F: Ten Years Ago in France What really had happened was that the star of destiny, having been westward bound for many generations, finally had passed over the horizon of the meridian of Greenwich. Largely unperceived, we had come to equality with the world's greatest by 1914. We had finished conquering a new world and had consolidated our positions, and now we had, with our youth, our inventiveness, our eco nomic isolation and our tremendous natural re sources, perfected a new theory and practice of production, a new industrial society in which high priced labor, working short hours, could outpro duce and outsell European cheap labor, working long hours. We should have passed Europe any way, but the war had expedited the process. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crusaders of New France Nor was it only in the arts of war that the hege mony of the Bourbon kingdom stood unquestioned. In art and education, in manners and fashions, France also dominated the ideas of the old con tinent, the dictator of social tastes as well as the grim warrior among the nations. In the second half of the seventeenth century France might justly claim to be both the heart and the head of Europe. Small wonder it was that the leaders of such a nation should demand to see the clause in Adam's will which bequeathed the New World to Spain and Portugal. Small wonder, indeed, that the first nation of Europe should insist upon a place in the sun to which her people might go to trade, to make land yield its increase, and to widen the Bourbon sway. If ever there was a land able and ready to take up the white man's burden, it was the France of Louis XIV.
