Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of France It Often happens that those of us who live in great cities do not know our next door neighbors. In the great world it is very much the same and we know little or nothing about our neighbors. Hundreds of years ago a French writer called us his next neighbor. It was impossible, he said, to write about France without also writing about England. That is very true, for during hundreds of years the history of the two countries mixed and mingled. Yet in spite of that Jacques Bonhomme and John Bull have gone on liv ing side by side knowing little of each other's history, understanding little of each other's ways. For during hundreds of years France and England were deadly enemies, and Englishmen cared little about the history of France. They thought that they knew enough about Frenchmen when they knew how to fight them. But those days have long gone past, and now Jacques Bonhomme is not only our next neighbor, but our very good friend. That being so, British boys and girls are no longer con tent to know nothing about this friend, and several years ago I got a letter from a little English boy. I like that book, he said, and I wish you would write one just the same, only about France, because we can't find anything nice about France. Since then I have received many such letters both from British boys and girls and from their cousins in America. I promised them all that some day they should have the book they asked for. They were not very pleased with that promise, I think. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution a Short History The object of this book is similar to that with which, a few years ago, I wrote a short biography of Napoleon. The main outlines of the Revolution, the proportion and relation of things, tend to become obscured under the accumulation of historical detail that is now proceeding. This is an attempt, therefore, to disentangle from the mass of details the shape, the movement, the significance of this great historical cataclysm. To keep the outline clear I have deliberately avoided mentioning the names of many subordinate actors; thinking that if nothing essential was connected with them the mention of their names would only tend to confuse matters. Similarly with incidents, I have omitted a few, such as the troubles at Avignon, and changed the emphasis on others, judging freely their importance and not following the footsteps of my predecessors, as in the case of the capture of the Bastille, the importance of which was vastly exaggerated by early writers on the subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of France for Young People T is hard to realize, as one travels now through fertile France and sees the well-tilled fields, noble cities, and vineyards heavy with their purple fruit, that it was once covered by tangled for ests, whose only inhabitants were wild beasts and men nearly as savage as they. Indeed, one might almost have mistaken the man for the animal at a little dis tance, for they both wore coverings of Skins and never combed their hair; but when you saw the human being drinking out Of a cup formed from the skull of his enemy, then you knew he must be a man, for wild beasts are not so revengeful. The Old name for France was Gaul, and the people who lived there before the time of Christ are supposed to have come from Central Asia, and to have belonged to one of the fierce races called Celtic, which Spread over the western part Of Europe before history begins.

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 A History of France, Vol. 1 The work which follows is an abridged translation of the sev enteenth edition (1884) of the Histoire de France, in two volumes, by the distinguished French historian, M. Victor Duruy. A good, short history of France is, it is believed, a book widely desired; and perhaps this is especially true in the present year, when that great country, its past and its present, is attracting an unusual degree of attention. For this purpose no better choice could be made than that of the famous work of M. Duruy. Ex - President Andrew D. W'hite, of Cornell University, whose especial familiarity with French historical literature is well known, has said of it that, of all the short summaries of French history, this is probably the best. President C. K. Adams, in his Manual of Historical Litera ture, declares that it is beyond question, the best history Of France ever published in the small space Of two volumes. Its popularity in France itself is attested by the extraordinary number of the editions through which it has passed. In preparing the present abridgment, the effort has been made to follow as closely as possi ble the text of. The original. A continuation has been added, bring ing down the narrative from 1870 to the present year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of French Literature The fourth edition of this book (1892) was printed from third, with corrections, not inconsiderable in number, if individu ally of no great significance; but in view of a possible further demand it seemed, for more reasons than one, desirable to recast the book materially for the next issue. In the first place, the appearance, also at the Clarendon Press, of Mr. Toynbee's Specimens q/ 01d Franck, gave me an Opportunity of omitting the illustrative extracts in the first part of the present volume, and so gaining a substantial amount of space. These extracts had originally been included by me not so much out of predilection for them, as because, in the absence of any book in which English readers were presented with anything of the kind, they seemed indispensable. But they were something of an anomaly; and I took the first Opportunity of suggesting to the Delegates of the Clarendon Press that, as the need was now elsewhere and better supplied, my own makeshift had better go. I am much obliged to them for the promptitude with which they at once met my wishes as to recasting the book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the French People We all know that France was originally called Gaul, and its first inhabitants, our ancestors, were called Gauls. I will explain how they came to be called French. The blood which flows in our veins is not pure Gallic blood; for our ancestors were twice conquered, - first, by the Romans; afterwards, by the Germans. Both nations established themselves by force in our country, married here, and had children, so that the descendents of conquerors and conquered were united, forming one people; hence we come from three sources, - the Gauls, Romans, and Germans.

In our cosmopolitan life, since we are in close touch with all peoples and are constantly hearing about them, there is need at least of the simplest elementary facts in the history of the great nations. The French people have held such a central position in thefworld's affairs, and have contributed so much to civilization, that the young student should at an early stage possess himself of the outlines Of their history. He is then enabled to put together the past and present Of that interesting country and to view the one in the light of the other. Then, too, the fact that French is the first foreign language which American children are expected to study is another valid reason for placing before them in its most interesting form the main facts of French history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From French History But King Philip, Louis' grandfather, who had died only three years before, was wise enough to see that France could never become a great country until it was more united; for these great barons could oppress their vassals, and wage war with each other as they pleased, and so he set himself to the task of restrain ing them. To find their power restricted was by no means pleasing to them; but the king was strong, and they had to submit. During the short time his son reigned, they had no opportunity of recovering their power; but when he died, and there was only a boy king, with his mother to act for him, and she a foreigner, they thought it would be easy enough to regain more than all their lately vanished power.
