Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Working Classes in France Nothing sooner reached the intellect as well as the heart of the scholarly woman whose review appears in this little volume than the state of the poor. To examine the conditions of laborers, to study the eco nomic causes and results operating for or against their well-being, was one of the chief interests of her life. Especially was this true of the great period of history known as the Middle Ages. Her extensive investigation in this field was first shown by her doctorate thesis, Aelleiding, a study of those early Norse laws by which children of illegitimate birth could be given social position. A few years later followed Slavery in Germanic Society during the Middle Ages; and still later the review here reprinted of Levasseur's Histoire des classes ouvrieres cl de l'induslrie en France. Though prevented by circumstances from producing a monumental work of her own. 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 Working Classes in France: A Social Study In this little book the author has done a useful work in the direction of this better understanding. Many English people visit France, and especially Paris; but very few among them know anything of the actual life of the real people and Paris is still, to the bulk of English men, the gay capital of a frivolous and fickle nation, where vice is arrayed' in its most attractive guise and the pursuit of pleasure is the only serious business. Even those whose experience teaches them better than' this have not thought it worth while to give the public the benefit of their experience. The plain and simple life of the working-class is so uninteresting compared with that of the brilliant adventurer or the successful courtesan that it has been scarcely considered worth describing and thanks are due to our author for having rendered this service. So far as Mr. Steele's general conclusions, based upon his intimate experience of the life of the French workmen, are concerned, I am pleased to find them correspond entirely with those I had myself formed froma much more cursory acquaintance. I have found, for instance, in all my dealings with continental workmen not only Frenchmen - that they were much more courteous, and even cordial, to the foreign workman coming among them than English workmen as a rule are. It has always appeared to me, too, and I have stated it frequently, that there is in public, in restaurants, in the street, &c., much less constraint and much more mutual respect among the different classes on the continent than here; while on the other hand the class feeling of the continental workman, his class-consciousness and hatred of the bourgeoisie, transcends anything to be found in this country, except among the capitalists towards the work man.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Easy French History: Edited for School Use Many teachers of French find that their stu dents do not understand and appreciate the works which they are called upon to read, because of their ignorance of the most ordinary facts of French history. How and when to give this necessary information has become a problem everywhere, and it is to aid in the solution of this problem that the present book has been pub lished. The work of a French teacher is, of course, to teach the French language, but the instructor who sees this task too narrowly will almost certainly fail. Many questions arise dur ing a year's reading which demand knowledge of an historical nature, and, although the teacher may do his duty as far as his time and the size of his class will allow, it is nevertheless only too true that students obtain little or no connected infor mation, unless such information is contained in the text which they read. The explanation given by the teacher in reading some episode of the Revolution or incident of the siege of Paris may be clear and to the point, but, as the majority of his listeners can in no way connect the facts with the past or with the present, the explanation as well as the story is forgotten before the next day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Old France The aim of this volume is to give a complete graphic account of the main features of the history of France to 1715 A.D., with as much additional illuminating detail as limited space permits. Besides outlines of the principal events, this narrative includes many biographical sketches, together with the anecdotes and sayings to which allusions are often made in literature, politics, and art. It also gives such data in regard to places, public buildings, and works of art as the well informed like to have at their fingers' ends. As the book is intended mainly for youthful readers, due regard has been paid to moral teachings and to the judicious omission of harmful incidents. The book is arranged for elementary history classes, and for supplementary reading as well. Some acquaintance with the history of France is most helpful in understanding and studying literature, and English, American, Medieval, and General history. Besides, in schools where French is taught, it can serve as a work of reference for the pupils, who continually stumble across names and allusions which require elucidation. The author, therefore, hopes many schools will find this narrative useful in one or the other connection, and that it will appeal equally to teachers and pupils and perhaps to other readers also. Many names occur and recur in the text because familiarity with their appearance is desirable from an educational point of view.

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.

The power of Capital is so great, and the belief in the sacredness of private property so old and so deeply rooted in the mind of man, that their aboli tion does not appear to be so near at hand as some predict. Labour cannot be entirely free until most of our political and social institutions and class distinctions, together with private property, the foundation of our social condition, have passed away.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the French Revolution The revenue of France was near twenty millions when Lewis XVI., finding it inadequate, called upon the nation for supply. In a Single lifetime it rose to far more than one hundred millions, while the national income grew still more rapidly; and this increase was wrought by a class to whom the ancient monarchy denied its best rewards, and whom it deprived of power in the country they enriched. As their industry effected change in the distribution of property, and wealth ceased to be the prerogative of a few, the excluded majority perceived that their disabilities rested on no foundation of right and justice, and were unsupported by reasons Of State. They proposed that the prizes in the Government, the Army, and the Church should be given to merit among the active and necessary portion of the people, and that no privilege injurious to them should be reserved for the unprofitable minority. Being nearly an hundred to one, they deemed that they were virtually the substance of the nation, and they claimed to govern themselves with a power proportioned to their numbers. They demanded that the State should be reformed, that the ruler should be their agent, not their master. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In that famous seat of learning, he said, a vast sum of money was expended on education, and a beggarly account of empty brains was the result. Rich endowments were wasted; parents were giving large sums to have their children taught, and were getting a most inadequate return for their outlay. Science, among those venerable towers in the vale of the Thames, still adored her Henry's holy shade; but she did very little else.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the French Revolution, Vol. 1 of 5: 1789 1800 I Purpose writing the history of a memorable Revolution, which has profoundly agitated the minds of men, and which still continues to divide them. I disguise not from myself the difficulties of the undertaking; for passions which were supposed to have been stifled under the sway of military despotism have recently revived. All at once men bowed down by age and toil have felt resentments which, according to appearance, were appeased, awaken within them, and they have communicated them to us, their sons and heirs. But if we have to uphold the same cause, we have not to defend their conduct, for we can separate liberty from those who have rendered it service or disservice; whilst we possess the advantage of having observed those veterans, who, still full of their recollections, still agitated by their impressions, reveal to us the spirit and the character of parties, and teach us to comprehend them. Perhaps the moment when the actors are about to expire is the most proper for writing this history; we can collect their evidence without participating in all their passions. Be this as it may, I have endeavoured to stifle within my. own bosom every feeling of animosity: I alternately figured to myself that, born in a cottage, animated with a just ambition, I was resolved to acquire what the pride of the higher classes had unjustly refused me; or that, bred in palaces, the heir to ancient privileges, it was painful to me to renounce a possession which I regarded as a legitimate property. Thenceforward I could not harbour enmity against either party;1 pitied the combatants, and I indemnified myself by admiring generous deeds wherever I found them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the Paris Commune In 1848 the present constitutional basis of Europe was established, and since then the middle-class advanced movements have become more and more moderate as the class itself has become politically dominant and settled down. The revolt of even the small middle-classes has, since '48, disappeared, its main object having been attained, such changes as the poorer section of the class demand, with few exceptions, having been striven for by peaceful and constitutional methods. In 1848, in short, the bourgeoisie, which had long been economically domi nant, put the finishing touch to its political emancipation.

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.

Thompson shows how the working class took part in its own making and re-creates the whole life experience of people who suffered loss of status and freedom, who underwent degradation and who yet created a culture and political consciousness of great vitality.
