Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Achievement of France The series of articles on "The Achievement of France," published in the Times newspaper at the end of June 1915, are here reprinted in response to a number of suggestions from readers both in this country and in France. They have, indeed, a special claim on public attention.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of France Succeeded, in name at least, by his son and grandson, and in 882 all the Frankish dominions were joined again under the Emperor Charles the Third or the Fat, save only the kingdom of Burgundy, which had begun in 870 between the Rhone and the Alps.

Download or read book France and the Alliances written by Andre Tardieu and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from France and the Alliances: The Struggle for the Balance of Power A Frenchman could not treat such a subject other wise than from a French point of view. But to try to understand one's adversaries is already to do them justice. With this spirit of justice I have endeavoured to inspire myself, yet not seeking to hide errors, which indeed do not fundamentally affect the whole of the French achievement. If Americans should see in this book, which has been written in good faith, fresh reasons for loving and esteeming France, then I shall have attained my object. The historic souvenirs which unite the two Republics have created imperishable ties between them. Being convinced that they may find in the study of the present time a positive justification for their old sympathies, I have striven to the best of my ability to make this justification clear, by telling, in the field of diplomatic action, the struggles of France for peace through the balance of power.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cradle of New France: A Story of the City Founded by Champlain As the voyager ascends our great river for the first time and rounds the Point of Orleans, a scene opens out before him not easily to be forgotten. The noble Saint Lawrence suddenly widening its channel forms here a spacious basin, from the western side of which arises the majestic promontory of Quebec, crowned with monument, turret and spire; while higher still and dominating the whole, looms the grim fortress of Cape Diamond. On the southern shore stand out in bold relief, the heights of Levis; to the north, sloping towards the Laurentians, are rich pastures and woodlands, dotted with homesteads, and in the midst the ancient and picturesque village of Charlesbourg.

Download or read book Memorial Catalogue of the French and Dutch Loan Collection 1886 Classic Reprint written by Edinburgh International Exhibition and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial Catalogue of the French and Dutch Loan Collection, 1886 What, indeed, is called Romanticism - the change, that is to say, in the material, the treatment, and the technical methods and ideals of art which was operated in the France of Charles x. And louis-philippe - was the outcome of a generation rich, in strenuous and potent individualities. The great emotions of the Republic and the Empire had induced such an efflorescence of temperament and genius as the world has not often seen. It were beside my purpose to speak of its impact upon war and politics and science; I have but to consider it in its relation to the arts. The fact is one that might easily be driven to death but I may begin by noting, that the inspiration of the time was wholly Napoleon's, and that it might be argued with some Show of reason, that Romanticism was as much a part of his legacy as the Code itself, or the memory of Austerlitz and Montmirail. It is at any rate certain that the period of his ascendancy was a time of intense and peculiar suffering, that it was also a time of enormous enterprise and achievement, and that it was under the pressure of these conditions that the men and women of the Romantic revival - cette grande generation de mille-huit-cent-trente, says Gautier, with honourable pride, qui marquera dans l'avenir, et dont on parlera comme d'une des epoques climateriques de l'esprit humain -were engendered and conceived. It is only the few who date from earlier days. Chateaubriand, le Sachem du Romantisme en France, its archetype in insincerity of sentiment and splendour of style, was born in 1768, three years before Walter Scott; Beranger.
