Excerpt from Young People's History of France No country has given birth to more wicked or to better men; no nation has been so pitilessly humiliated or exalted to more dizzying heights of glory. Her dreamers have turned dreams into materialities her realities have dissolved into baseless visions; she has gone down in blood and flame to the lowest depths of despair and then leaped to a height that made all the world wonder; she is great to-day and in her history are to be found lessons of absorbing interest, of amazing length and breadth and of profound and far-reaching im portance to mankind.

Excerpt from A Short History of France for Young People T is hard to realize, as one travels now through fertile France and sees the well-tilled fields, noble cities, and vineyards heavy with their purple fruit, that it was once covered by tangled for ests, whose only inhabitants were wild beasts and men nearly as savage as they. Indeed, one might almost have mistaken the man for the animal at a little dis tance, for they both wore coverings of Skins and never combed their hair; but when you saw the human being drinking out Of a cup formed from the skull of his enemy, then you knew he must be a man, for wild beasts are not so revengeful. The Old name for France was Gaul, and the people who lived there before the time of Christ are supposed to have come from Central Asia, and to have belonged to one of the fierce races called Celtic, which Spread over the western part Of Europe before history begins.

Excerpt from Young People's History of France One thing is to be said concerning the history of France: it is instructive, for it includes every system of government that the ingenuity of man can devise and some that none but a Frenchman could evolve. From the bottom to the top and then down again, the whole gamut has been run. France has been ruled by savages, who made no pretensions of being anything else, and by men who claimed to be civilized and yet were ten times worse than the unadulterated savage. She has had monsters of villainy seated on her throne and holding the scales of life and death; she has had good men and wise statesmen for her rulers; she has been an aristocracy, a monarchy, an absolute despotism, a Commune, which is another name for an orgie of murderers, who feared not God, man nor the devil, and of late years and at present she seems to be a Republic. France is a wonderful nation; she knows how to worship a man as a demi-god to-day and to lop off his head to-morrow.

Excerpt from Young Folks History of France These Stories 011 the History of France are meant for children perhaps a year older than those on the History of England. They try to put such facts as need most to be remembered in a comprehensible form, and to attach some real characteristic to each reign; though, in later political history, it is difficult to translate the leading ideas into anything that can enter art intellect of seven or eight years old. The gentleman who, some time ago, recommended leaching history backwards from our own time, could never have practically tried how much harder it is to make la Charte or the Reform Bill interesting to the childish mind, than how King Robert fed the beggars or William Rufus was killed by an arrow. Early history is generally personal, and thus can be far more easily recollected than that which concerns the multitude, who are indeed everything to the philanthropist, but are nothing to the child.

Excerpt from History of the French Revolution of 1848 In all beings God has proportioned this period of growth to the length of existence which he destines to them. Man, who is to live for a century, grows for five and twenty years, or even longer. Nations, which are to live through two or three thousand years, have revolutions of_development - of childhood, youth, manhood, and at length old age, which last not less than two or three centuries. The difficulty with the vulgar is, amid those convulsive phenomena whlch mark the revolutions of a nation, to distinguish the crises of growth from those of decay, youth from old age, and life from death.

Excerpt from A Short History of the French People We all know that France was originally called Gaul, and its first inhabitants, our ancestors, were called Gauls. I will explain how they came to be called French. The blood which flows in our veins is not pure Gallic blood; for our ancestors were twice conquered, - first, by the Romans; afterwards, by the Germans. Both nations established themselves by force in our country, married here, and had children, so that the descendents of conquerors and conquered were united, forming one people; hence we come from three sources, - the Gauls, Romans, and Germans.

Excerpt from The Story of Old France The aim of this volume is to give a complete graphic account of the main features of the history of France to 1715 A.D., with as much additional illuminating detail as limited space permits. Besides outlines of the principal events, this narrative includes many biographical sketches, together with the anecdotes and sayings to which allusions are often made in literature, politics, and art. It also gives such data in regard to places, public buildings, and works of art as the well informed like to have at their fingers' ends. As the book is intended mainly for youthful readers, due regard has been paid to moral teachings and to the judicious omission of harmful incidents. The book is arranged for elementary history classes, and for supplementary reading as well. Some acquaintance with the history of France is most helpful in understanding and studying literature, and English, American, Medieval, and General history. Besides, in schools where French is taught, it can serve as a work of reference for the pupils, who continually stumble across names and allusions which require elucidation. The author, therefore, hopes many schools will find this narrative useful in one or the other connection, and that it will appeal equally to teachers and pupils and perhaps to other readers also. Many names occur and recur in the text because familiarity with their appearance is desirable from an educational point of view.

Excerpt from A History of France It Often happens that those of us who live in great cities do not know our next door neighbors. In the great world it is very much the same and we know little or nothing about our neighbors. Hundreds of years ago a French writer called us his next neighbor. It was impossible, he said, to write about France without also writing about England. That is very true, for during hundreds of years the history of the two countries mixed and mingled. Yet in spite of that Jacques Bonhomme and John Bull have gone on liv ing side by side knowing little of each other's history, understanding little of each other's ways. For during hundreds of years France and England were deadly enemies, and Englishmen cared little about the history of France. They thought that they knew enough about Frenchmen when they knew how to fight them. But those days have long gone past, and now Jacques Bonhomme is not only our next neighbor, but our very good friend. That being so, British boys and girls are no longer con tent to know nothing about this friend, and several years ago I got a letter from a little English boy. I like that book, he said, and I wish you would write one just the same, only about France, because we can't find anything nice about France. Since then I have received many such letters both from British boys and girls and from their cousins in America. I promised them all that some day they should have the book they asked for. They were not very pleased with that promise, I think. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
