Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the French Revolution The following Sketch of the course of the French Revolution was originally published during 1889 in serial form in Justice, the weekly organ of the Social Demo' cratic Federation. It has been revised, corrected, and, in some parts, added to, for the present re-issue. It need scarcely be said that it in no way pretends to be a com plete history of the great political, social, and intellectual movement it describes. The present volume is designed primarily as a guide to those who, not having the time to study larger works on the subject, yet wish during these centennial years to have in a small compass a con nected description of the main events of the French Revolution, more especially from the point Of View of modern Socialism. It is undeniable that there are many Englishmen who would indignantly repudiate any'asper sions on their education for whom the French Revolution means little more than the destruction of one institution called the Bastille, the erection of another institution called theguillotine, and the establishment of the Napo leonic Empire on the ruins of both. They have no idea Of the complex forces, economical, speculative, and po litical, which manifested themselves in the succession of crises (scarcely, indeed, of the existence of the crises themselves) which took place between the assembling of the states-general in 1789, _and the suppression of the Babmuf conspiracy in 1796.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 2 of 2 But human beings are seldom logical as individuals, and never logical in the mass. The Parisian mob did not reason closely when it attacked the Bastille. The world did not discriminate finely between cause and effect when it heard of the fall of the Bastille. The fact that the Bastille had long ceased to be an evil prison is of very little moment compared with the fact that an insurgent mob chose to regard it as an evil prison. The innocence of its old age may be established beyond dispute, but it is no less beyond dispute that in 1789 a large number of people chose to regard it as a symbol of the old order which they hated, chose to re gard its overthrow as one of the strongest as it was one of the earliest blows struck at the supremacy of the old order. When Fox described the taking of the Bastille as the greatest event in history, he did not merely exult over the easy capture of an antiquated stronghold: he would not have altered his judgment even if he had been assured that it had long been disused to iniquity, that its torture-chambers and its dungeons were things of the past, and that the dreaded institution of the Let tres de Cachet would soon have existed only in memory. The taking of the Bastille afi'mded the people of Paris the first proof of the weakness of authority and the strength of the mob. Whether the obtaining of that proof be rejoiced at or bewailed over, the fact that it was so obtained makes the day's work of July 14 inevi tably and rightly momentous.

Download or read book The Coming of the French Revolution written by Georges Lefebvre and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Coming of the French Revolution remains essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of this great turning point in the formation of the modern world. First published in 1939, on the eve of the Second World War, and suppressed by the Vichy government, this classic work explains what happened in France in 1789, the first year of the French Revolution. Georges Lefebvre wrote history "from below"--a Marxist approach. Here, he places the peasantry at the center of his analysis, emphasizing the class struggles in France and the significant role they played in the coming of the revolution. Eloquently translated by the historian R. R. Palmer and featuring an introduction by Timothy Tackett that provides a concise intellectual biography of Lefebvre and a critical appraisal of the book, this Princeton Classics edition continues to offer fresh insights into democracy, dictatorship, and insurrection.

This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Examination of the Principles of the French Revolution In the long train of revolutions which form the history of empires, there is not one to be compared with the French. All others were only local and momentary shocks, the effect of which was confined to the transfer of power from one hand to another; or, at most, to a change of the form of a Government. In it foreigners took no interest, any further than as they were connected with the leaders of one party or the other; and whatever was the issue, the agitations of one country shook not the constitution of other states. The French Revolution hath taken, from its origin, a different character. Without grievances, without pretexts, without visible leaders, in the midst of a profound peace, and under a government the most mild, a nation hath been entirely convulsed by a sudden change of opinions. The most powerful monarchy in Europe hath given way to a philosophical system, the principles of which, being applicable to every people, menace every government. The plan of this astonishing revolution embraces the universe: all nations are invited to enjoy its blessings, or to partake of its disasters. Hitherto, this system hath not the suffrage of experience in its favour; and though it were certain that posterity would reap the fruits of the crimes and calamities of the present generation, their reiteration justness would not absolve the innovators from the dreadful evils to which they have condemned us. The hope however of such happiness to come is forbidden: the revolution promises to our descendants only what it hath given to ourselves.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 3 of 3: A History; The Guillotine Very frightful it is when a Nation, rending asunder its Con stitutions and Regulations which were grown dead cerements for it, becomes transcendental and must now seek its wild way through the New, Chaotic, - where Force is not yet distin guished into Bidden and Forbidden, but Crime and Virtue wel ter unseparated, - in that domain of what is called the Passions of what we call the Miracles and the Portents It is thus that, for some three years to come, we are to contemplate France, in this final Third Part of our History.
