Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 2 of 4 In the month of October of the year 1783 the hero of a certain famous in famous fiction entered Paris for the first time by the Faubourg Saint-Marceau. 'I sought, ' he says, 'that stately city of which I had read such wonderful accounts. I found but high and squalid tenements, long and ludicrously narrow streets, poor wretches every were cloth the rags, a crowed of well-night naked children; I beheld a dense population, and appalling poverty. I asked my father if that was indeed Paris; he answered coldly that it was certainly not the finest quarter; on the morrow we should have time to see another.'These sentence, almost the opening sentence of the once renowned romance of 'Faublas, ' make a strangely appropriate text for any study of or any speculation upon the French Revolution.

A Paradise haunts the dreams of the Historian, as well as of the Lover and the Fool. To glide through happy, laborious years in the eloquent silence of his library, free from the necessity for that ungrateful literary drudgery, from which he escapes only by fits and starts - in feverish haste, the balance and continuity of his ideas well-nigh lost, - to some cherished work, often laid aside, long neglected, and at last almost despaired of; to feel himself, as it were, a lily of the field, neither bound to toil nor spin Solomon-raiment for himself, but only for his thoughts; to enjoy the inestimable boon of scholarly leisure, roaming through archives and collections, with no call to grudge the hours which slip by as one investigation branches off into a hundred equally as enticing, ruminating some doubtful point, or rounding some awkward period in his twilight garden or beside his friendly study fire; to concentrate his every thought upon the magnum opus, towards which all his studies have for years been tending, which he sees daily growing under his pen, big with the promise of future fame; ever busily improving, reviewing, and revising, till shortly he becomes his best, and gives of his best to the world, and of his best only.

Man indeed, and King Louis like other men, lives in this world to make rule out of the ruleless by his living energy, he shall force the absurd itself to become less absurd. But then if there be no living energy living passivity only? King Serpent, hurled into its unexpected watery dominion, did at least bite, and assert credibly that he wasl there: but as for the poor King Log, tumbled hither and thither as thousandfold chance and other will than his might direct, how happy for him that he was indeed wooden; and, doing nothing, could also see and suffer nothing!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 2 of 2 But human beings are seldom logical as individuals, and never logical in the mass. The Parisian mob did not reason closely when it attacked the Bastille. The world did not discriminate finely between cause and effect when it heard of the fall of the Bastille. The fact that the Bastille had long ceased to be an evil prison is of very little moment compared with the fact that an insurgent mob chose to regard it as an evil prison. The innocence of its old age may be established beyond dispute, but it is no less beyond dispute that in 1789 a large number of people chose to regard it as a symbol of the old order which they hated, chose to re gard its overthrow as one of the strongest as it was one of the earliest blows struck at the supremacy of the old order. When Fox described the taking of the Bastille as the greatest event in history, he did not merely exult over the easy capture of an antiquated stronghold: he would not have altered his judgment even if he had been assured that it had long been disused to iniquity, that its torture-chambers and its dungeons were things of the past, and that the dreaded institution of the Let tres de Cachet would soon have existed only in memory. The taking of the Bastille afi'mded the people of Paris the first proof of the weakness of authority and the strength of the mob. Whether the obtaining of that proof be rejoiced at or bewailed over, the fact that it was so obtained makes the day's work of July 14 inevi tably and rightly momentous.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the French Revolution, Vol. 4 of 4 If we once more survey the state of European politics in July 1794, we see the military power of France decidedly in the ascendant, and a general exhaustion, and disinclination for war, on the part of the allied Powers. England alone was victorious at sea, and still resolved to continue the contest. Prussia had placed her Rhine Army at the disposal of the British Government, but otherwise directed all her hopes and efforts towards the war in Poland. Holland, the petty German sovereigns, Naples and Spain, wished for nothing so eagerly as peace - peace at almost any price.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the French Revolution, Vol. 2 of 2 However, one finds that this and the other little prop has been added, where possibility allowed. Civil-list and Privy purse were from of old well cared for. King's Constitutional Guard, Eighteen hundred loyal men from the Eighty-three Departments, under a loyal Duke de Brissac; this, with trust worthy Swiss besides, is of itself something. The old loyal Bodyguards are indeed dissolved, in name as well as in fact; and gone mostly towards Coblentz. But now also those Sans culottic violent Gardes Francaises, or Centre Grenadiers, shall have their mittimus: they do ere long, in the Journals, not without a hoarse pathos, publish their Farewell; wishing all Aristocrats the graves in Paris which to us are denied.b They depart, these first Soldiers of the Revolution; they hover very dimly in the distance for about another year; till they can be remodelled, new-named, and sent to fight the Aus trians; and then History beholds them no more. A most notable Corps of men; which has its place in world-history - though to us, so is History written, they remain mere rubrics of men; nameless; a shaggy Grenadier Mass, crossed with bufi-belts. And yet might we not ask: What Argonauts, what Leonidas' Spartans had done such a work? Think of their destiny: since that May morning, some three years ago, when they, unparticipating, trundled oﬂ' d'espréménil to the Calypso Isles; since that July evening, some two years ago, when they, participating and sacreing with knit brows, poured a volley into Besenval's Prince de Lambesc! History waves them her mute adieu. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
