Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Revolutionary Idea in France, 1789-1871 I might have brought this brief study to an end in 1830, for in that year the first Revolution, triumphant over the determined attempt under the Bourbon Restoration to resurrect the ancien regime en bloc, becomes finally an established and conservative force save only for that small aggressive'residue embodied in the movement for its logical completion in the Republic. But the revolutionary movement which about 1830 begins to take shape in a new revolutionary idea not only lies so close to the roots of the most urgent problem 'of our own day but reproduces so many features of the first that the two deserve unmistakably not to be separated, and each must gain from the juxtaposition. For indeed the deepest waters of the revolutionary idea flow alike beneath the surface currents of both its aspects: the belief, I mean, in the possibilities of Revolution as a method.
