The space devoted to the career of Napoleon, has been limited to a few pages, as that period is considered of sufficient importance to claini'. A separate volume, which is now in press.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of France From the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Second Empire in 1870 In conclusion it may be observed, that it has been the earnest endeavour of the Author to avoid the capital error of writing the History of France from an English point of view, a course which cannot fail to convey an unjust conception of the institutions, government, habits, and character of the people. What is needed is an im partial, genial, and even sympathetic account of French history. This has been the principle upon which the Work has been 1mdertaken but with what success it has been carried out is for competent critics to decide.

This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular History of France, From the Earliest Times, Vol. 4 of 4 It has been said in this History that Louis XIV. had the fortune to find himself at the culminating point of absolute monarchy, and to profit by the labors of his predecessors, reaping a portion of their glory; he had likewise the honor of enriching himself with the labors of his contemporaries, and attracting to himself a share of their lustre; the honor, be it said, not the fortune, for he managed to remain the centre of intellectual movement as well as of the court, of literature and art as well as affairs of state. Only the abrupt and solitary genius of Pascal or the prankish and ingenuous geniality of La Fontaine held aloof from king and court; Racine and Moliere, Bossuet and Fenelon, La Bruyere and Boileau lived frequently in the circle of Louis XIV., and enjoyed in different degrees his favor; M. de la Rochefoucauld and Madame de Sevigne were of the court; Lebrun, Rigaud, Mignard, painted for the king; Perrault and Mansard constructed the Louvre and Versailles; the learned of all countries considered it an honor to correspond with the new academies founded in France. Louis XIV. was even less a man of letters or an artist than an administrator or a soldier: but literature and art, as well as the superintendents and the generals, found in him the King. The puissant unity of the reign is everywhere the same. The king and the nation are in harmony. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of France: From the Earliest Times to the Treaty of Versailles One limitation must be stated very frankly. No other one nation of Europe has touched so many outside factors as France. A complete history of France would make an almost equally complete history of nearly all the great wars and major diplo matic intrigues that have agitated Europe. To write a short history, therefore, that was not simply to degenerate into a dry epitome, military and diplomatic annals have perforce been cut to the bone. The story has been the story of the French people, its progress, setbacks, trials, and victories, and only so far as for eign or military events have contributed to that story have they been mentioned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of France, Vol. 6 of 8: From the Earliest Times to 1848 We must, however, tell our children the History of the French Revolution; we must disentangle the evil from the good, the true from the false, and define the parts played by men and by circumstances. For it will devolve upon our children, under the hand of God, to bring this tragic history to a close, and find for our France, peace, order, and security in that liberty which she demands, and which during so many centuries, and through all the irregularities and inconsis tencies of her long career, she has so persistently sought. At the debut of the states-general in 1789, our hearts were for the most part overflowing with hope, and the most clear-sighted had scarcely a presentiment of the abysses of agitation and sorrow that were opening before us. Ever since his accession to the throne, and in spite of the incon stant weakness of his character, King Louis XVI. Had not ceased to desire and seek the good of his people. But it was his misfortune to become soon tired of his best servants; for T urgot and Malesherbes he had substituted M. Necker, and soon afterwards Calonnc and Brienne. Yielding to pub lic Opinion, he recalled Necker; for the king was already sinking under the unexpected weight of events, which he had neither the knowledge nor the power to direct.

This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of France From the Earliest Times to 1848, Vol. 2 of 8 A second fact, less apparent and less remarkable, but nevertheless, not without importance or without effect upon the history of the kingship in France, is the extreme variety Of character, of faculties, of intellectual and moral bent, of policy and personal conduct amongst the French kings. In the long roll of thirty-three kings who reigned in France from Hugh Capet to Louis XVI. There were kings wise and kings foolish, kings able and kings incapable, kings rash and kings slothful, kings earnest and kings frivolous, kings saintly and kings licentious, kings good and sympathetic towards their people, kings egotistical and concerned solely about them selves, kings lovable and beloved, kings sombre and dreaded or detested. As We go forward and encounter them on our 'way, all these kingly characters will be seen appearing and acting in all their diversity and all their incoherence. Abso lute monarchical power in France was, almost in every succes sive reign, singularly modified, being at one time aggravated and at another alleviated according to the ideas, sentiments, morals, and spontaneous instincts of the monarchs. Nowhere else, throughout the great European monarchies, has the dif ference between kingly personages exercised SO much influ ence on government and national condition. In that country the free action of individuals has filled a prominent place and taken a prominent part in the course Of events.
