Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs and Correspondence of Mallet Du Pan, Illustrative of the History of the French Revolution, Vol. 2 of 2 This committee exercises the dictatorship in all its extent: it makes plans and executes them; the ministers are nothing better than its clerks, the Convention but a machine for issuing decrees sanctioning the decisions of this council. It exercises the sovereign disposal of armies, generals, the public funds, the revolutionary tribunals, the subordinate authorities, the innumerable agents of the pub lic force, capital, revenue, the real and personal property and life of every citizen; it ordains inquisitions, committees of surveillance - the same as the clubs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs and Correspondence of Mallet Du Pan, Vol. 1 of 2: Illustrative of the History of the French Revolution Elm years ago, these Memoirs would have had no need of the explanation they require at present. The writer whose career they retrace, had then lately died in the enjoy ment of the most honourable repute: his name was European; his writings, translated into many languages, were spread far and wide. No one connected with the political world was unaware that this writer, a republican as well from conviction as by origin, had deserved the confidence of Louis XVI. In the King's last dangers, and that his counsels had been received in the great cabinets of Europe. All his prophecies, met by incredulity in the first instance, had been realised one after the other; and some thing of the respect paid to prophetic minds attached to his then recent memory. But this reputation was intimately connected with the revolution: it paled, like so many others, when the great successes of Bonaparte prevailed in the popular imagination over recollections of the revolution itself. The journals, the pamphlets of those fatal times, and the names of their authors, merged rapidly into oblivion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs and Correspondence of Mallet Du Pan, Illustrative of the History of the French Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2 As far as possible, the purely conjectural discussions which naturally abound in many of these pages have been omitted; but Whatever partook of the nature of historic critique and philosophic judgment, whatever could serve to define the manner in which events were felt by con temporaries, has been, and deserved to be, retained: we hope that it will be so considered. In one word, we have desired to produce an useful work, and we have been on our guard against allowing it to be in any sense a work of vanity, confident of thus honouring, with a respect which he would have accepted, the least vain of men, and most practical of thinkers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bloody episode that epitomised the political dilemmas of the eighteenth century In 1798, members of the United Irishmen were massacred by the British amid the crumbling walls of a half-built town near Waterford in Ireland. Many of the Irish were republicans inspired by the French Revolution, and the site of their demise was known as Geneva Barracks. The Barracks were the remnants of an experimental community called New Geneva, a settlement of Calvinist republican rebels who fled the continent in 1782. The British believed that the rectitude and industriousness of these imported revolutionaries would have a positive effect on the Irish populace. The experiment was abandoned, however, after the Calvinists demanded greater independence and more state money for their project. Terrorists, Anarchists, and Republicans tells the story of a utopian city inspired by a spirit of liberty and republican values being turned into a place where republicans who had fought for liberty were extinguished by the might of empire. Richard Whatmore brings to life a violent age in which powerful states like Britain and France intervened in the affairs of smaller, weaker countries, justifying their actions on the grounds that they were stopping anarchists and terrorists from destroying society, religion and government. The Genevans and the Irish rebels, in turn, saw themselves as advocates of republican virtue, willing to sacrifice themselves for liberty, rights and the public good. Terrorists, Anarchists, and Republicans shows how the massacre at Geneva Barracks marked an end to the old Europe of diverse political forms, and the ascendancy of powerful states seeking empire and markets—in many respects the end of enlightenment itself.
