A History of the French Revolution, Vol. 2 of 3 (Classic Reprint) by H. Morse Stephens Pdf

Excerpt from A History of the French Revolution, Vol. 2 of 3 I regret, but can hardly apologize for, the delay in the publication of the present Volume. 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.

The History of the French Revolution, Vol. 2 of 3 (Classic Reprint) by Adolphe Thiers Pdf

Excerpt from The History of the French Revolution, Vol. 2 of 3 Grezt was the joy at the Jacobins. Its members congratulated themselves on the energy of the people, on their late admirable conduct, and on the removal of all those obstacles which the right side had not ceased to oppose to the progress of the Revolution. According to the custom after all great events, they agreed upon the manner in which the last insurrection should be represented. The people, said Robespierre, have confounded all their calumniators by their conduct. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Lectures on History, Second and Concluding Series, Vol. 2 of 3 by William Smyth Pdf

Excerpt from Lectures on History, Second and Concluding Series, Vol. 2 of 3: On the French Revolution I will now proceed to refer to some of the histories and commentaries on the French Revolution, drawn up by actors in the scene, or those who lived at the time. These accounts will present you with the same transactions and topics again and again repeated; but this, as I have mentioned to you, will only impress the leading points of this great subject more and more on your memories. To men of intelligence, to those who mean well, to all who are really interested in the liberties of mankind, and in the best happiness of their country, I consider this portion of the revolutionary story to be most particularly important: such men were, at this period, as I conceive, wanting in caution, in respect for those who had gone before them; were too sanguine, too enthusiastic in their good feelings, too confident in the people. And if these things be so, they ought to operate as an example to others hereafter; to other wise and good men; to other patriots, who must be taught, that it is not sufficient to have good intentions or great talents; that they must have prudence, circumspection, and many other virtues, which those, who engage in revolutions, are too apt to despise. Look, therefore, at the portraits of this singular period, which I am holding up to your view; for this is what I am now doing, while I am quoting from the writings or speeches of those who lived at the time.

History of the Girondists, Vol. 2 of 3 by Alphonse De Lamartine Pdf

Excerpt from History of the Girondists, Vol. 2 of 3: Or Personal Memoirs of the Patriots of the French Revolution The battalion of the Filles St. Thomas, consisting of men devoted to the constitution, loaded its arms in Pétion's pre sence. The unanimous voice of the citizens accused the mayor of Paris of having had the desire to commit crime, without daring to display such inclination. Sergent, who accompanied Petion, was thrown down by a national guard, and indignantly trampled upon in the courtyard of the Tuileries. The Directory of Paris suspended the Maire. He made preparations for defence around the chateau against a fresh assemblage threatened for that evening. There was a talk of proclaiming martial law, of unfolding the red flag. The Assembly was excited in the evening by these reports. Gaudet declared that they were desirous of renewing the bloody day of the champ-de-mars against the people.

The French Revolution by Shailer Mathews Pdf

Excerpt from The French Revolution: A Sketch For the student of society, the few years that elapsed between the assembling of the States General and the appearance of Napoleon Bonaparte afford material altogether unequaled for a study in social psychology. Few indeed were the political theories and proposals for social amelioration that were not then tried. Nor dares one say that these attempts of philosophers so desperately in earnest to bring in liberty and equality were altogether futile. Because of the constructive genius of Napoleon, they had lasting and, in the main, beneficial results. But there were few of the reform movements then inaugurated that were given anything like normal conditions for trial. Revolutions are not the best means by which to bring about permanent reforms, any more than fevers are the best means of bringing about improvement in one's health; but they are not pathological. No decaying people has vitality enough to carry through a revolt to such constitutional changes as make it worthy the name of revolution. In France, just as in America a few years before, and in England in the preceding century, revolution was the outcome of national convalescence, of a socialized conviction of injustice, and of a universal determination to install justice.

History of the French Revolution by Frederica Maclean Rowan Pdf

Excerpt from History of the French Revolution: Its Causes and Consequences IN the little work here presented to the public, the faults of the people are more insisted upon than those of the rulers, because it is written for the former, not for the latter, and because, if the latter have a lesson to learn from history, the for mer have a still greater one, and one that, if well learnt by them, will suffice for both. Despotism and tyranny are almost impossible evils in our day, but the love of liberty is so great, that the impor tant task now is to enlighten and to regulate that love, so that, in their headlong career for the attainment of a good, the people place not them selves in the way of the very evils they seek to avoid. They have to learn, that for nations as for individuals, happiness depends upon virtue and wisdom, and that therefore liberty, which is hap piness, does not mean merely freedom from re straint, and cannot be attained through crimes.
