Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government and Politics of France This volume by Professor Sait is the only work in English that describes the structure and practical working of the French government of today; for the textbooks hitherto used in our colleges were published a quarter of a century ago and have not been adequately revised. M itch has happened in that quarter of a century. In certain directions French institutions have been profoundly modified, even transformed. For example, the party system, with its annual delegate conventions and its hierarchy of com mittees, has gradually taken form in the past fifteen or twenty years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contemporary French Politics To many, the results of the French elections of November 16, 1919, came as a welcome surprise. An American observer in Paris who had perhaps taken but a casual interest in French domestic problems would have been convinced, upon visiting the Palais Bourbon, that France was on the verge of being engulfed in a tidal wave of Bolshevism from the Russian deep. He would have heard aghast, the Extreme Left, led by the grandson of Karl Marx, Jean Longuet, shrieking its defiance at all things bourgeois. Possibly to his dismay, he would also have heard the thunderous stamping of feet by which the Socialists drowned the sound of the huge silver bell, through insistent ringing of which the President of the Chamber bravely struggled to maintain order. To the Americans at home the situation must have appeared no less ominous. Judged by the press reports, the tumult arising from the First of May celebrations, and the Socialist vituperations against the Peace Conference, surely gave cause for grave foreboding. But a deeper knowledge of the currents which underlie the surface of the political waters in France belied any such catastrophe as the "storm prophets" had predicted. Those currents were deep; they were silent. Indeed, to their depth they owed their relentless power and their persistence in their normal course. The strongest of these forces was the sterling character of the French people themselves. Only a very superficial estimate of national temperament will judge the French to be excitable, unpractical and unstable.

Download or read book French Political Thought in the 19th Century Classic Reprint written by Roger Henry Soltau and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Political Thought in the 19th Century BY the nineteenth century we mean the hundred years which stretch from the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1814 to the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, or perhaps more exactly to 1905-1906. During those two years the struggle between Church and State reaches its inevitable conclusion in Dis establishment, and the religious question falls into the back ground of politics, making way for the problems first of social and industrial organization and then of diplomacy and war which were going to predominate in the succeeding period. The European situation also enters into a new phase, by the emergence of the Moroccan question and the formation of the Entente Cordiale, a revolution in the traditional policy of hostility to Great Britain. Finally, the same years mark the handing over of political leadership to the great ministers of the war period, the Rouvier cabinet (1905-1906) being the last to be formed by a politician of the old school; in 1906 Briand first takes office and Clemenceau becomes Premier, a new Clemenceau, conservative and constructive, superseding as it were the old Radical destroyer of cabinets: the twentieth century is here with its new problems. In a study primarily of ideas rather than of events it is of course impossible to draw hard and fast lines of chronological division, and while endeavouring to throw into particular relief the dominating political conceptions of the nineteenth century we have not refrained from watching from afar, as it were, their evolution to the present day. We have not attempted, however, any study of such post-war political thought as constitutes a distinctly new departure instead of being but the continuation of pre-war systems - partly not to swell the dimensions of an already large book, partly also because of the difficulty of disentangling at such close quarters the ephemeral from the permanent, and partly because the chief new tendencies, Communism and Fascism, are not specifically French, either in origin or in character.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Letter on the Genius and Dispositions of the French Government: Including a View of the Taxation of the French Empire The following pages were written amid a variety of pursuits in the course of the last two months. They are now given with some precipitation to the public, in consequence of a belief, that, if destined to be at all useful, they may be particularly so at this moment. It was originally intended to insert the name of the gentleman to whom they are addressed, and who enjoys, both here and abroad, the highest reputation as a statesman and an author. Considerations of a private nature have induced the writer to relinquish this plan, but he has still thought proper to retain the form of a letter, which exacts a less scrupulous adherence to method than any other shape, into which his ideas could have been thrown. He disclaims all party feelings or views, and is animated solely by a wish to promote the cause of truth.

In composing them, he has been actuated solely by the love of truth and justice, and no other motives engage him to make them public. He has no personal enmity to any political character in France, and expects nothing from any man or party. As to the style of these letters, it will show the hurry with which they had been written; but the author hopes it will be found in general clear. Writing from memory alone, without any aid from books or persons, he may have committed some inaccuracies in stating facts relative to the ancient government, but he is certain he cannot be accused of error in any statement of importance.

Download or read book France in the Twentieth Century Classic Reprint written by Walter Lionel George and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from France in the Twentieth Century In the first chapter of this book, the author states at length the difficulties with which the would-be writer on France is confronted. After perusing them, the reader will be inclined to think that neither the able nor the sincere can ever hope to fulfil these impossible conditions, and it is true that they are difficult of realisation. The author has developed his views sufficiently to make it unnecessary to state it here, but the salient fact that emerges is that neither the Frenchman nor the alien is, ideally fitted for a study of France, owing to his natural bias; the obvious inference is that the most favourable position is that of a hei-matloSy whose tendencies are half French and half British, who is born and educated under one flag and counter-influenced under the other. Thus he becomes a neutral and able to take up a sane position. As this is not an autobiography, the author will only state briefly the circumstances that induce him to believe that he is in a position to judge fairly; no credit is claimed for fortuitous advantages, but he may be allowed to avail himself of them all the same.

This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of France Under the Third Republic Just a hundred years have elapsed since the first French Republic attained apparent stability, with high prestige and virtual paramountcy throughout Europe. The political fortunes of France since that time have been full of a strange and seemingly capricious variety. As one looks back, however, over the course of things since the revolutionary period, it becomes plain not only that the last quarter of the hundred years has been by far the best epoch for the French people, but also that the caprice and contradiction of French political history have been rather upon the surface of events, while the real life of the nation has unfolded by processes of development which make the present order in some true sense the logical and necessary outcome of all that has gone before. It has not been the task of our author in the present volume to treat of the entire century. He finds it desirable, nevertheless, briefly to recite his philosophy of the political evolution of France since the first Napoleon. His views seem to me to disclose not merely a typical French aptitude for generalization and the rationale of things, but further than that a justness of judgment and a reasonableness that inspire the utmost confidence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How France Is Governed The conception of the State, in modern France, is based upon the principle of national sovereignty. France is a great democracy, which rules and administers itself. But it rules and administers itself by means of representatives. We are therefore led to examine representative government. How are the mandatories of the nation appointed - who are the electors - who may be elected - how long has the right of suffrage been accorded to the whole body of citizens - and how is it exercised? To reply to these questions we must briefly trace the history of modern liberties. In comparing ancient institutions with those of to-day we shall not refrain from demonstrating in what these latter are superior to the former. A historical narrative which, under the pretext of neutrality, should ignore accomplished progress would be dry and unmeaning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from France, Social, Literary, Political It is now very nearly four years ago, - at that memorable lime when the great Bourbon dynasty went once more into exile - that I first contemplated a work on France. Not altogether a work such as many which have appeared, skimming lightly over the surface of things, and pretending merely to be the result of a six weeks' residence at Paris - but a work which, in describing the present, would connect it with the past - which, in speaking of what is daily and accidental, would separate it from what ages have sanctioned, and distant ages are likely to see; - a work, which in showing the effect which time, and laws, and accident produce upon the character of a people, would also show the manner in which the character of a people traverses times, enters into laws, dominates over accident. I thought such a work might be useful in England: because it might at once teach us where we could or could not imitate our neighbours; and at the same time convince us that a wise imitation does not consist in copying the laws or the customs of another nation, but in adapting those laws and customs that we wish to imitate to our own dispositions. I thought such a work might be useful; I thought too such a work might be interesting; and that in order to make it useful and interesting, it would be necessary to make it amusing. The English writer of the present century is placed in many respects in the same situation as the French writer of the last. I do not say that he has the same instruction to give, but he has in the same manner to render instruction popular: and this I trust will be my excuse for having sometimes adopted a lighter tone, and introduced lighter matter into the following volumes than the gravity and importance of their subject might seem to require. Thus, it is some time since I first conceived the project of this work - but I had not long proceeded to collect materials for my undertaking before I abandoned the pursuit.

I am conscious that it is not what it would have been had my husband lived to finish it. He meant it to be a complete history of the different parties which for centuries in France have struggled and fought each one in turn gaining supreme power by trampling the others under foot, and which still represent political life and feeling in France. He loved France with an ardent love. He longed to make his countrymen just to her, to make them understand her history and sympathise with her difficulties. He studied her history and her literature with ceaseless interest. Newspapers, essays, memoirs, histories were carefully read, and from them were volumes of notes taken.
