Excerpt from The Complete Revolution HE Republic is bursting from its Eighteenth Century clothes. A sys tem designed for loosely federated states no longer serves. The Twen tieth Century brings a new dawn and a new deal. The day for patching, tinkering and compromises has gone. The time for revolution has arrived. People are not satisfied with their government. Upon one thing both great parties agree, that only under leadership of radi cals can they have chance for success. The law of progress is change, and without progress there can be no stability. When there has been a long time without change, revolution must come to set stabil ity up again. The system of government in the United States has not changed in one hundred years, although in this period there have been more changes in the manner of living and in the organi zation of society, than there were in the previous thousand years. Government has become out of plumb with the times. Change needed amounts to a revolution; not a revolution of blood, but revolution of method, such as that of 1688 in England, which peacefully established the supremacy of Parliament over the King. Today it comes to establish the su premacy of the people in their government. The first American Revolution abolished monar chy and proclaimed the equal right of every citizen in his government. The time was not ripe, however, for the complete working out of the demo cratic idea. For government by king was substi tuted government by machinery. The machine set up was with checks and balances, reserved rights and parchment restrictions. At the base were thir teen states of semi-sovereign power. At the top were Congress and an executive as nearly independ ent as they could be. Supreme above all was a bench of nine judges appointed for life, and in no way answerable to the people. Democracy, through suspicion and inexperience, forged its own chains. They were chains neverthe less. It is fair to believe, that in a period when Europe was all ablaze with revolution, and again ablaze with reaction, these chains were necessary to hold the young republic in its course. Today, how ever, every essential of the first revolution is su preme and uncontested. The chains, which served their purpose, have now for twenty years held us back, so that the younger democracies, in Australia and Europe, have ceased to look to us for guidance.

Excerpt from The Evolution of Revolution My object in writing this book is to give a sketch of economic influences upon the growth of human society. At a time when revolutionary movements are going on all over the civilised world we may learn, to some extent, from the past what to avoid in the present and the future. My obligations to the works of Lewis H. Morgan and Karl Marx are manifest, though I have ventured to differ, occasionally, from those great writers. In dealing with the downfall of slavery I have drawn upon the admirable Italian school of historic economy headed by Ciccotti and Salvioli. I am conscious of many shortcomings in my attempt to survey briefly the early institutions and subsequent development of mankind. But I hope it may induce younger men than myself to work out a more complete study of this great subject. The title was suggested to me by my friend, Mr. Curtis Brown.

Excerpt from Narrative of the French Revolution of 1848 And never was so much work done, and well done, in so brief a space of time. The Three Days Of July, glorious as they were to the great-hearted victors, resulted in nothing more than a transposition of the established order of things; they shifted the parts in the political drama from one set of actors to another, but the play remained the same. The Three Days of February were days both of destruction and creation, and produced a fundamental change in the whole political and social system of the country. Between the ancient France Of Louis Philippe and the new-born Republic there lies the interval of a deluge.

Excerpt from Germany and the Revolution The impression produced on the whole nation by this revolt ing scandal could not be misunderstood. A public denuncia tion of so pompous a nature gave just offence, and when the charge of treason vanished into smoke, to the shame of the ac cusers, when the nation saw through the gross fabrication, then the blackest ingratitude was laid Open, and the abortive scheme appeared nothing else than an attempt to bring back the old, abhorred, and absurd state of things. From that fatal moment slumbering distrust was awakened, ' and the government was closely watched, in order to discover with certainty its inten tions.

Excerpt from The Old Regime and the Revolution The book I now publish is not a history of the Revolution. That history has been too brilliantly written for me to think of writing it afresh. This is a mere essay on the Revolution. The French made, in 1789, the greatest effort that has ever been made by any people to sever their history into two parts, so to speak, and to tear open a gulf between their past and their future. In this design, they took the greatest care to leave every trace of their past condition behind them; they imposed all kinds of restraints upon themselves in order to be different from their ancestry; they omitted nothing which could disguise them. I have always fancied that they were less successful in this enterprise than has been generally believed abroad, or even supposed at home. I have always suspected that they unconsciously retained most of the sentiments, habits, and ideas which the old regime had taught them, and by whose aid they achieved the Revolution; and that, without intending it, they used its ruins as materials for the construction of their new society. Hence it seemed that the proper way of studying the Revolution was to forget, for a time, the France we see before us, and to examine, in its grave, the France that is gone.

Excerpt from Dawn in Russia: Or Scenes in the Russian Revolution I have not attempted in this book to do more than describe some of the scenes which I witnessed in Russia during the winter of I905 - Igo6, while I was acting there as special correspondent for the Daily Cbrouicle. For the most part, the descriptions are given in the same words which I wrote down at the time, either for my own memory or for the news paper. But the whole has been re-arranged and rewritten, while certain scenes have been added for which a daily paper has no room. I have also inserted between the scenes a bare outline of the principal events that were happening elsewhere, so that the Significance of what I saw may be more easily understood, and the dates become something better than mere numbers.
