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.

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. 3 of 5 In the history of France, the influence and working of the national mind are often so inapparent, that a monarch would have been puzzled who thought to consult it. It comes strongly in support of my theory to observe, that during such periods of syncope no great man ever made his appearance. Through long epochs, indeed, opinion in France there was none, if one will not acknowledge as such a worship of expedi ency, and a tendency to fall prostrate in despair before whatever power came forward to play the bold bully and insist on dominating. True, the nation was apt to awaken at intervals to a sense of a condition so abject, and to play the maniac in shaking off its fetters and asserting its rights. But the vigour seldom sur vived the access of rage; purpose was lost in frenzy, and the great object of humanity in the imposing sound and glitter of merely fanciful words. Such disquisitions, however, would require not a pre face but a volume. It has been here indulged in merely to vindicate the cause and necessity of narratives of things, at least as an indispensable background to the representation of characters and persons.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of France, Vol. 2 of 5 It is the mutual tendency of the several classes in a progressive society to consolidate their respective rights, and thus found institutions. Political rights are but the consequence and the guarantee of civil ones, and the mere struggle to obtain the latter leads to the creation of the former. The annals of the reign just narrated, and of the one now entered upon, mark the efforts of the French, and especially Of the Parisian citizens, to guard their property and to acquire power or rights for the purpose of doing so. Unfortunately all such attempts in France were made by each class separately, and even in antagonism with the others; king, nobles, and commons, always at strife and never in unison, carrying on a civil war of class, which in the end proved fatal alike to all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular History of France, Vol. 5: From the Earliest Times Dissension into the royal army and the royal party which were protecting their privileges, their property, and their lives against the League. On returning to his quarters, he noticed the arrival of Marshal de Biron, who pressed him to lay hands with out delay upon the crown of France, in order to guard it and save it. But, in the evening of that day and on the morrow, at the numerous meetings of the lords to deliberate upon the situation, the ardent Catholics renewed their demand for the exclusion of Henry from the throne if he did not at once abjure, and for referring the election of a king to the states general. Biron himself proposed not to declare Henry king, but to recognize him merely as captain-general of the army pending his abjuration. Harlay de Sancy vigorously maintained the cause of the Salic law and the hereditary rights of mon archy. Biron took him aside and said, I had hitherto thought that you had sense; now I doubt it. If, before securing our own position with the King of Navarre, we completely estab lish his, he will no longer care for us. The time is come for making our terms; if we let the occasion escape us, we shall never recover it. What are your terms? Asked Sancy. If it please the king to give me the countship of Perigord, I shall be his forever. Sancy reported this conversation to the king, who promised Biron what he wanted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the French Revolution, Vol. 3 of 5 Great was the joy at the J acobins. Its members congratu lated themselves on the energy of the people, on their late admirable conduct, and on the removal of all those obstacles which the right side had not ceased to Oppose to the progress of the Revolution. According to the custom after all great events, they agreed upon the manner. In which the last insur rection should be represented. The people, said Robe spierre, have confounded all their calumniators by their conduct. Eighty thousand men have been under arms for nearly a week, yet no property has been violated, not a drop of blood has been spilled, and they have thus proved whether it was their aim, as it has been alleged, to profit by the disorder for the commission of murder and plunder. Their insurrection was spontaneous, because it was the effect of the general conviction; and the Mountain itself, weak and astonished at this movement, has proved that it did not concur to produce it. Thus this insurrection has been wholly moral and wholly popular. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
