Excerpt from History of France, From the Earliest Times to the Present Day In preparing the present volume, the author has endeavoured to give the history as lively and striking a character as was con sistent with fidelity of delineation; and to fix the attention of the student by such biographical details as his limited space would allow. It is hoped that the reader will feel a degree of personal interest in the leading personages, and will retain a distinct recol lection of their characters and dispositions, and of the effect which they respectively produced on the events of their time. The whole narrative has been comprised in so short a space, that it may properly find a place in our common seminaries of learning as a part of the historical course, without employing too much of the time devoted to school instruction. The space devoted to the career of Napoleon, has been limited to a few pages, as that period is considered of sufficient importance to claini'. A separate volume, which is now in press.

Excerpt from A History of France From the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Second Empire in 1870 In conclusion it may be observed, that it has been the earnest endeavour of the Author to avoid the capital error of writing the History of France from an English point of view, a course which cannot fail to convey an unjust conception of the institutions, government, habits, and character of the people. What is needed is an im partial, genial, and even sympathetic account of French history. This has been the principle upon which the Work has been 1mdertaken but with what success it has been carried out is for competent critics to decide.

Excerpt from History of France: From the Earliest Times to the Treaty of Versailles One limitation must be stated very frankly. No other one nation of Europe has touched so many outside factors as France. A complete history of France would make an almost equally complete history of nearly all the great wars and major diplo matic intrigues that have agitated Europe. To write a short history, therefore, that was not simply to degenerate into a dry epitome, military and diplomatic annals have perforce been cut to the bone. The story has been the story of the French people, its progress, setbacks, trials, and victories, and only so far as for eign or military events have contributed to that story have they been mentioned.

Excerpt from A Popular History of France, From the Earliest Times, Vol. 4 of 4 It has been said in this History that Louis XIV. had the fortune to find himself at the culminating point of absolute monarchy, and to profit by the labors of his predecessors, reaping a portion of their glory; he had likewise the honor of enriching himself with the labors of his contemporaries, and attracting to himself a share of their lustre; the honor, be it said, not the fortune, for he managed to remain the centre of intellectual movement as well as of the court, of literature and art as well as affairs of state. Only the abrupt and solitary genius of Pascal or the prankish and ingenuous geniality of La Fontaine held aloof from king and court; Racine and Moliere, Bossuet and Fenelon, La Bruyere and Boileau lived frequently in the circle of Louis XIV., and enjoyed in different degrees his favor; M. de la Rochefoucauld and Madame de Sevigne were of the court; Lebrun, Rigaud, Mignard, painted for the king; Perrault and Mansard constructed the Louvre and Versailles; the learned of all countries considered it an honor to correspond with the new academies founded in France. Louis XIV. was even less a man of letters or an artist than an administrator or a soldier: but literature and art, as well as the superintendents and the generals, found in him the King. The puissant unity of the reign is everywhere the same. The king and the nation are in harmony. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Popular History of France, Vol. 5: From the Earliest Times Dissension into the royal army and the royal party which were protecting their privileges, their property, and their lives against the League. On returning to his quarters, he noticed the arrival of Marshal de Biron, who pressed him to lay hands with out delay upon the crown of France, in order to guard it and save it. But, in the evening of that day and on the morrow, at the numerous meetings of the lords to deliberate upon the situation, the ardent Catholics renewed their demand for the exclusion of Henry from the throne if he did not at once abjure, and for referring the election of a king to the states general. Biron himself proposed not to declare Henry king, but to recognize him merely as captain-general of the army pending his abjuration. Harlay de Sancy vigorously maintained the cause of the Salic law and the hereditary rights of mon archy. Biron took him aside and said, I had hitherto thought that you had sense; now I doubt it. If, before securing our own position with the King of Navarre, we completely estab lish his, he will no longer care for us. The time is come for making our terms; if we let the occasion escape us, we shall never recover it. What are your terms? Asked Sancy. If it please the king to give me the countship of Perigord, I shall be his forever. Sancy reported this conversation to the king, who promised Biron what he wanted.

Excerpt from France Since the First Empire IT seems necessary to say a few words to explain how this book was written. I am conscious that it is not what it would have been had my husband lived to finish it. He meant it to be a complete history of the different parties, which for centuries in France have struggled and fought, each one in turn gaining supreme power by trampling the others under foot, and which still represent political life and feeling in France.
