Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of France, Vol. 1 of 5 Some five-and-twenty years ago, the Author of these present volumes wrote for Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopaedia a Compendious History of France. The space there assigned for the work did not render the careful consultation of original sources requisite. It has ever since been his, aim, and more or less the object of his study and thought, to write a History of France from the ample original materials which the care of the French Government and learned bodies have collected, and which so many of their able historic pllllosophei's have elucidated. The First Volume of a History of France, thus composed, is now presented to the public. Although no original narrative or document of these times has been left unconsulted by the Author, he has still refrained from multiplying references at the bottom of each page. The materials of French history, or at least of its earlier centuries, have been formed into collections, for the most part in chronological order. Each volume is amply furnished with indexes and tables of contents. And nothing can be more easy than for the student to refer to any epoch, test any opinion, or A 4viii preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of France, Vol. 1 That such a nation should have failed to find a competent En glish historian is strange, and the fact, I presume, is to be ascribed, not to the insular prejudices of English authors, among whom we naturally seek for one (for they have written of particular periods in the French annals both learnedly and well), but to the probable familiarity of the English reading public with the French histo rians themselves, whose labors, to those that' can read them, ren der any other attempts not only unnecessary, but presumptuous. But, if this may have been the case in England, it is certain that in this. Country, where we have no such general acquaintance with French literature, we need a history of France in the English lan guage. Now, as my studies had gradually led me over the whole field of French history, I came to conceive that I might perhaps turn the materials and the knowledge I had collected to some ao count in supplying this need. I will frankly confess, however, that the magnitude of the project frightened me for a long time from Preface to his History of France in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of France, Vol. 5 of 5 The present volume completes a History of France, written after a careful study of every available original source, with the sole desire of ascertaining the truth and without any bias of party policy or contemporaneous fashion. As the author announced in the first volume, his aim was to write French history from a point of View which should be English in its spirit, principles, and judgment, yet without jealousy or enmity towards a nation running the same race with ourselves, although in a different path. It is surely possible to be just and even friendly towards our neighbours, without adopting their opinions wholesale, and taking their rule as the measure not only of their merits but of our own. This nevertheless is what Englishmen have long been in the habit of doing. Of the histories of England which preceded that of Hume, the most popular and the most highly esteemed was written by a Frenchman. But although Hume's work displaced that of Rapin, Hume's views of England were taken altogether from the banks of the Seine, and his opinions were but the echoes of opinions current in French circles and saloons. What, again, is the new English school of thought which expresses sympathy with the acts of the French Revo vol. V.

Book excerpt: "The History of France " in 6 volumes is a comprehensive account of French history from its earliest beginnings in Gaul to 1789 written by the French historian and statesman François Guizot. According to the author's opinion, there are, in the history of peoples, two sets of causes essentially different, and, at the same time, closely connected; the natural causes which are set over the general course of events, and the unrestricted causes which are incidental. The fated causes and the unrestricted causes, the defined laws of events and the spontaneous actions of man's free agency – herein is the whole of history. This carefully edited collection has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of France, Vol. 1 Many years ago, when I first began to read history, I was surprised as well as disappointed in not being able to find in our English literature a good general history of France. As I did not then understand the French language, my curiosity was forced to satisfy itself with imperfect compilations and abridgments. This deficiency seemed the more remarkable to me, as I discerned at a glance that no nation in Europe had been more intimately connected with the whole course of European civilization than the Gallic nation. Descended from a peculiar and lively race, which was among the first of the western races to submit to the Roman yoke and to appropriate the Roman culture, it had ever taken a leading and active part in the great movements which shaped and controlled the destiny of historic mankind. It was on the soil of Gaul, as a kind of middle or debatable ground, that the most stupendous struggles took place between Romanic and Germanic influences; there that the only durable barbaric monarchy was established after the great invasions; there that feudalism flourished in its most splendid as well as wretched forms; and there that royalty, aristocracy, and democracy, wrestling with each other for centuries, alternately achieved the most brilliant successes and experienced the most disastrous defeats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of France, Vol. 1 His book was in the press before anyone dreamt that we should be standing beside our traditional enemy on the very battlefields where we have so often confronted her. No alterations have been made to meet the new conditions: history can never be wholly free from bias, but a history of France written or revised during such a crisis as the present would be so biassed as to lose its value. I may, however, be allowed to say how conscious I am that I have overstated the temperamental characteristics, and in particular the temperamental weaknesses, of the French. The truly remarkable way in which, under the present trial, France has purified herself of her traditional vices and developed virtues which were supposed to be quite alien to her character drives one to the conclusion, not only that the temperamental qualities of nations change more rapidly than we have been accustomed to think, but also that they are often only qualities which have been foisted on nations by noisy minorities.
