Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of France, Vol. 2 It is not always just, however, to condemn a country for its loss of liberty. Representative fi'eedom, that great political result of modern times, was as little the effect of human providence, as the great physical discoveries that have con tributed with it to change the face of civilization. Had not England preserved the boon more by a devoted attachment to old institutions than by any legislative' skill, it is to be feared that not even all our modern ingenuity could have invented a durable constitution. If the French, then, are to be blamed, it is more for fickleness than servility; and even this censure will be rendered lighter by considering the causes that led to the different fate of liberty in the two countries.

Our Breton sailors are the fitting opponents of the British; as firm, less cool, perhaps, but making up for this by their quickness in seizing the critical moment. The constable de Clisson, the king's man. And leader of the Breton oppo sition to the duke of Brittany, took up the expedition, and made it the business of his province. Clisson aimed high. He had just ransomed from the English the young count of Blois, the aspirant to the duchy of Brittany. Had married his daughter to him, and would have made him duke. Jean de Montfort, the reigning duke, detected Clisson's treason but was hindered by his barons from executing him! However, this petty accident broke up the English ex -dition for the second time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the History of France, Vol. 2 of 2 It is superfluous to point out the vexations and absurdities of such a system. To enhance them, the usual inequalities were maintained in the execution of it. The privileged orders were permitted to supply their own domestic wants by deducting what was re quisite for that purpose from the produce of their own salt-mines or marshes. In various provinces total or partial exemptions from the gabelle were established; and the charge was consequently ren dered at once more Oppressive and more invidious in those places in which the weight of it was entirely unmitigated. It was, nevertheless, too lucrative an impost to be abandoned, even by the most equitable and magnanimous of the statesmen of France under the Old monarchy. Sully, Richelieu, Colbert, and many others, introduced or attempted various modi fications of the system; but it remained to the last a grinding and offensive monopoly of one of the absolute necessaries of human existence.

Download or read book Mastering the Art of French Cooking Volume 1 written by Julia Child and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The definitive cookbook on French cuisine for American readers: "What a cookbook should be: packed with sumptuous recipes, detailed instructions, and precise line drawings. Some of the instructions look daunting, but as Child herself says in the introduction, 'If you can read, you can cook.'" —Entertainment Weekly “I only wish that I had written it myself.” —James Beard Featuring 524 delicious recipes and over 100 instructive illustrations to guide readers every step of the way, Mastering the Art of French Cooking offers something for everyone, from seasoned experts to beginners who love good food and long to reproduce the savory delights of French cuisine. Julia Child, Simone Beck, and Louisette Bertholle break down the classic foods of France into a logical sequence of themes and variations rather than presenting an endless and diffuse catalogue of dishes—from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. Throughout, the focus is on key recipes that form the backbone of French cookery and lend themselves to an infinite number of elaborations—bound to increase anyone’s culinary repertoire. “Julia has slowly but surely altered our way of thinking about food. She has taken the fear out of the term ‘haute cuisine.’ She has increased gastronomic awareness a thousandfold by stressing the importance of good foundation and technique, and she has elevated our consciousness to the refined pleasures of dining." —Thomas Keller, The French Laundry

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of France, Vol. 2 State of France, - In 1598 Henry IV. had driven out the foreigners, reconciled Catholics and Protestants, and established peace in the interior and on the frontiers. It was now necessary to heal all the wounds that France had received. A contemporary estimated that since 1580 eight hundred thousand persons had perished by war and massacre; that nine cities had been levelled with the ground, two hundred and fifty villages burned, and one hundred and twenty-eight thousand houses destroyed. And since that period, which preceded the formation of the League, how numerous were the ruins of another sort! Workmen without work, commerce interrupted, agriculture desolated, robbery everywhere; and from the midst of all this desolation Henry IV. must endeavor to resuscitate France. The nobility had proposed one way out of the difficulty; they offered him all the money necessary for the government and for the maintenance of the army, on condition of a virtual restoration of feudalism. This was far from according with Henry's designs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of France, Vol. 2: A. D. 1453-1624 Lastly there comes a very different time. The foreign wars are over; cunning is pitted against daring: the age is weary of life, yet full of the fear of death: the first traces of introspection appear, and men shrink back from themselves. Questionings as to the moral bearing of things, as to the political bases of life, precede, in France at least, all enquiry into the deeper problems of religion. Assassinations stain the page of history; men live in daily dread of poison; the Dance of Death is painted on the wall; the arts of corruption are found to be all-powerful; the truth blenches before the lie. The question, so often asked a little later, How shall a Prince rule over his people? First finds a tentative answer in the life of Louis XI, as we read it in the pages of Philip of Commines. He, and a few years later, a very different man, the Florentine Macchiavelli, set themselves to find the solution of this great problem, which is the first to emerge among the elements of modern national life. In substance the two men bring out the same answer. The old world is dying: none but the nimble and the unscrupulous can walk in high places without falling. The Italian draws a more precise picture than that which we can gather from the diffuse pages of the franco-burgundian chronicler: the Florentine has also this great advantage over his predecessor.
