Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 1 This second part of "Les Origines de la France Contemporaine" will consist of two volumes. - Popular insurrections and the laws of the Constituent Assembly end in destroying all government in France; this forms the subject of the present volume. - A party arises around an extreme doctrine, gets possession of the power, and exercises it in conformity with that doctrine; this will form the subject of the second volume. A third volume would be required to criticize authorities. For this I have no room, and I merely state the rule that I have observed. The most trustworthy testimony is that of the eyewitness, especially when this witness is an honourable, attentive, and intelligent man, writing on the spot, at the moment, and under the dictation of the facts themselves - if it is manifest that his sole object is to preserve or furnish information, if his work is not a piece of polemics planned for the needs of a cause, or a passage of eloquence arranged for popular effect, but a legal deposition, a secret report, a confidential dispatch, a private letter, or a personal memento. The nearer a document approaches this type, the more it merits confidence, and supplies superior materials. - I have found many of this character in the national archives, principally in the manuscript correspondence of ministers, intendants, sub-delegates, magistrates, and other functionaries; of military commanders, officers in the army, and gendarmerie; of royal commissioners, and of the Assembly; of administrators of departments, districts, and municipalities, besides persons in private life who address the King, the National Assembly, or the ministry. Among these are men of every rank, profession, education, and party. They are distributed by hundreds and thousands over the whole surface of the territory.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 1 of 3: A History by Thomas Carlyle "I find on a general view that the book is one of the savagest written for several centuries. It is a book written by a wild man, a man disunited from the fellowship of the world he lives in, looking King and beggar in the face with an indifference of brotherhood and an indifference of contempt." Such was the verdict passed by Thomas Carlyle on his own handiwork when he made its acquaintance once again in type. The words come quite naturally in his letter of February 17th, 1837, written to his brother John, whose advice he had taken as to several omissions and a more minute division of chapters; and they tally with those which he wrote to his mother a little earlier: "It is not altogether a bad book. For one thing I consider it to be the sincerest book this nation has got offered to it for a good few years, or is likely to get for a good few. And so I say to them: 'Good Christian people; there it is. Shriek over it, since ye will not shout over it. Trample it, and kick it, and use it all ways ye judge best. If ye can kill it and extinguish it, then in God's name do. If ye cannot, why then ye will not. My share in it is done.'"

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the French Revolution, Vol. 1 of 4 It is to be regretted that an author so well versed in the annals of his country as M. Thiers, has not thought it worth his while to enter more into detail on the subject of the numerous secondary causes which helped to bring about the French Revolution. It will be observed that, after a few brief introductory paragraphs, of a didactic rather than an historical character, he comes at once to his subject, as if he took for granted that all his readers were as well acquainted as himself with the remote, as well as with the immediate, origin of that memorable event His history may be said to commence with the derangement of the national finances after the death of Maurepas; but the seeds of the revolution were sown long before his time. The immediately pro pelling cause was no doubt financial, but the struggle had become ne cessary - it may almost be said from the day of the decease (if the Grand Monarque.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the French Revolution of 1789, Vol. 1 Tms work, which is in course of publication in Paris, is now for the first time offered to the public in the English language. It will be completed in ten original volumes, the first two of which are embraced in this. Its author has recently acquired for himself a world-wide rep ata tion as a leading and active member of the Provisional Government of France. He had been previously known in the literary world by his France under Louis Philippe, which had procured for him the reputation of an able and brilliant writer, an original thinker, and a powerful delineator. These traits will be found conspicuous in the present volume, which contains the causes that, in his opinion, led from afar to the great French Revolution of 1789, and the opening scenes of that mighty drama. It has been the object of the translator to present the author's ideas, and more especially in the theoretical and philosophical parts of the work, in, as nearly as possible, his own language. Should there therefore be found passages to which criticism may except as being too literal, this must be his apology therefor.

T. Atkinson, Fellow of Exeter College, who has contributed three invaluable appendices; to Mr. J. R. Moreton Macdonald, of Largie, who has contributed one appendix and revised all my notes; to Miss Eleanor Lodge, who assisted in the verification of the early references; to Mrs. Ellen Salmon, who not only opened the doors of the British Museum to me, but who has also carefully watched over the production of the whole book with the most motherly tenderness; most of all, however, to Professor Lodge, of Edinburgh University, who has contributed the most laborious of the appendices, and pointed out many errors in the notes; and to my Father, whose faultless taste in style, and whose natural literary instinct have made him my wisest critic. I send forth the book with much tremor as to the judgments likely to be passed upon the accents, the spelling, the punctuation and the omissions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History French Revolution, Vol. 1 of 3 Fortescue, the superintendent of the reading-room, who knows the collection better than any one else. This great collection has been used especially for Chapter I. Of the present volume on the Elections, which is based entirely upon it, but in subsequent chapters the contemporary journals have formed the groundwork of the story, though corrected and amplified by these pamphlets and by modern monographs. The history of the French Revolution has gone through four distinct stages in France, which must be noticed successively, though the boundaries of the third and fourth stages cannot be distinctly defined. The first stage is that of contemporary histories. Though the various journals and pamphlets give the narrative of events at first hand, they were quickly followed up and made use of in regular histories. Of these the earliest in point of date is that of Rabant de Saint Etienne, the Protestant pastor, and member of the Constituent Assembly and of the Convention, who wrote his Histoire de la Revolution francaise in 1792, in the happy conviction that the Revolution was all over, before it had reached the critical period in which he himself died on the guillotine. Of the numerous histories published under the Directory, the best known are those of the Deux Amis and of Lacretelle, of which Carlyle made copious use. But these writers lived too close to the time of which they wrote to be able to clear their minds of prejudices or to have knowledge of the documents which could alone unravel hidden intrigues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the French Revolution, Vol. 1 of 4: Translated From the Third Edition of the Original German Work The Work of Professor von Sybel on the History of the French Revolution enjoys so high a reputation in Germany that the Translator considers it unnecessary to make any apology for presenting it to the English Public. It has long been considered by the ablest historical critics to contain the most impartial account of that great Historical Drama, which is still unrolling before our eyes, and of which we have not yet seen the catastrophe. If the Author needed any justification for re-opening a subject of such universal interest, it would be found in the long list of documents contained in the following preface, all of which were first consulted by him, and most of them by him alone. His preliminary remarks are sufficient to show how justly he estimates the magnitude of the task he has undertaken, and with what patience, diligence, and good fortune, he has collected the great amount of fresh materials indispensable to its due performance; but only a perusal of the work itself will enable the reader to appreciate the far higher qualities of the genuine historian - the power of weighing evidence, and the impartiality of the just and fearless judge.
