Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French History for English Children The country which we now call France was not always called so, nor were the people who live in it always called the French. When it is first mentioned, which is in old Latin books written more than 1800 years ago, it is called Gallia, or Gaul, and the people are spoken of as Gauls. Gaul was in some respects the same as France is now, and in some respects very different. It was the same, or nearly the same, in its mountains, rivers, and some of the chief towns it was different in its roads, fields, villages, and, more than all, in the people who lived in it. 'when I say that some of the towns were the same, I do not mean that they look the same now as they did then, but that the Gauls had towns in many of the places where the French now have them, and that they have lasted with almost the same names ever Since.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Stories of France The child needs the background of history as an aid to the interpretation of his experience and for the understanding of current events. In our cosmopolitan life, since we are in close touch with all peoples and are constantly hearing about them, there is need at least of the simplest elementary facts in the history of the great nations. The French people have held such a central position in thefworld's affairs, and have contributed so much to civilization, that the young student should at an early stage possess himself of the outlines Of their history. He is then enabled to put together the past and present Of that interesting country and to view the one in the light of the other. Then, too, the fact that French is the first foreign language which American children are expected to study is another valid reason for placing before them in its most interesting form the main facts of French history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the French Revolution of 1848 In all beings God has proportioned this period of growth to the length of existence which he destines to them. Man, who is to live for a century, grows for five and twenty years, or even longer.

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.

Download or read book History of France Vol 2 written by John S. C. Bridge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-07-28 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of France, Vol. 2: From the Death of Louis XI; Reign of Charles VIII, 1493 1498 A health which demanded incessant care had left small opportunity for any scheme of education to correct innate defects of mind and character. Charles had spent his boyhood at Amboise in a seclusion unbroken by that juvenile experience of public life through which Princes are accustomed to serve their apprenticeship to the throne and he had been kept so close that there were some who doubted if his presence in the castle was suspected by the inhabitants Of the little town which nestled around its towers. Tradition ascribes the régime to the suspicious malevolence Of Louis XI, taught by the disloyalties of his own youth the potentialities for mischief of an heir apparent: but tradition wrongs the King. The attitude of Louis towards his son was that of an over-anxious parent, trembling lest the gift for which he had longed and prayed should be snatched prematurely from his grasp. Solicitous about every detail of the frail child's health, he pestered his attendants with inquiries whether he was in good spirits and eating' and sleeping well, whether he lay warm of nights, or grew over-heated at his play; and a frenzy of anxiety when Charles fell sick was succeeded upon his recovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Just Behind the Front in France The France that I had left five years ago was full of youth, of joy, of contentment, a land of sun-kissed hills, of velvety meadows and of purple vineyards, a land filled with the songs and laughter of children and the smiles of gentle women. On my return I found her sadly changed. She had suddenly aged. The joy and contentment were gone, and in their place were intense suffer ing and profound sorrow. The fiery ordeal through which she had passed had left its ugly scars but it had also tempered her and made her finer and stronger. Where she had lost materially she had gained Spiritually. She stands to-day erect and proud, confident and determined, her face illumined by the glory of a great faith that in the ultimate outcome of the tremendous struggle hers will be the victory.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eugénie: Empress of the French Was it worth the doing? In these days, looking back over her career, all she can say is: I am the past.

My eyes no longer turn to the future. I live only in my youth. There is nothing for me but to wait. My dreary winter is nearly over. Poor Eugénie! That she still Clings to the hope of seeing a descendant of Napoleon on the throne of France is evidenced by a letter to an old soldier who recently appealed to her for help, In which she says: As her majesty admits that every old soldier of the empire has remained faithful to the sacred cause, to the imperial eagles, it is necessary so that her majesty may be assured of a devotion of which she or rather the legitimate heir to the throne - will perhaps have need sooner than one thinks, that she receives from u a letter in which she will find the expression ur unshaka devotion to the memory of Napoleon iic to the Imperial cause, as well as the exprésssjbtni your mistrust oi the present regime' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Napoleon s Notes on English History Made on the Eve of the French Revolution written by Napoleon Napoleon and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Napoleon's Notes on English History Made on the Eve of the French, Revolution: Illustrated From Con-Temporary Historians and Refreshed From the Findings of Later Research While the last proofs of this book were passing through the press the Author was seized by a sudden attack of an old complaint, and passed away in the very height of his manhood and of his faculties. It devolves on me - his friend and publisher - to say with what eagerness he used his life, and so rapidly burnt it up that he could not have hoped to have lived to an old age. The very strenuousness and eagerness of his living was beyond what his physical nature could endure. In his forty years of life he accomplished an immense amount of work; but of all the tasks he undertook - and they were almost numberless - the one he set himself con amore was the determination to unveil and clear from the rubbish and mud-throwing of a hundred years the character of his hero Napoleon - that his compatriots might see him as he was, and to make them understand the "man" without prejudice and with knowledge. Napoleon had become the romance of his life, nay, one may almost say its passion; and he was always eagerly on the watch for evidence to clear away calumny which he believed surrounded and hid a hero of a noble ambition. He was a student of the keenest order, revelling in detail, leaving nothing undone that was possible to make a fact more sure, never counting any task too hard if it made for the goal of completeness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Martyrs of France, or the Witness of the Reformed Church of France: From the Reign of Francis First to the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes It is the object of this little volume to con tribute in a humble way to this end. The author would draw the attention of the young, especially, to a page in the history of martyrology full of stirring and tender interest. While the old authorities have not been overlooked in the composition of the volume, sources new to Sabbath-school litera ture have been investigated, so that a degree of novelty will, it is hoped, be among its attractions to juvenile readers. May it help to cultivate deep and true devotion to the Master, and encourage a manly and vigorous style of piety that is not ashamed or afraid of the cross.

This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A French Volunteer of the War of Independence The Chevalier de Pontgibaud was one of the gallant little band of Frenchmen, who, sick for breathing and exploit crossed the Atlantic to aid the American colonists to gain their independence. Like most of his companions, he was a mere lad, courageous, adventurous, high-spirited, light-hearted, and cool-headed, but be united to these ordinary attributes of the French gentleman, one which his comrades did not possess, or had no opportunity of developing. He seems to have been a shrewd observer of men and events, and he. Had a keen sense of humour. It was not probable that a youth barely out of his teens and thinking more of his own liberty than the cause in which he was engaged, should have noted his impressions at the time. They were written down more than forty years later, but that will not detract from the value of a book which gives vivid pen-portraits of men about whom much has been written but of whom much yet remains to be written.
