Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 2
In this volume, as in those preceding it and in those to come, there will be found only the history of Public Powers. Other historians will write that of diplomacy, of war, of the finances, of the Church: my subject is a limited one. To my great regret, however, this new part fills an entire volume; and the last part, on the revolutionary government, will be as long.

I have again to regret the dissatisfaction which I foresee this work will cause to many of my countrymen. My excuse is, that almost all of them, more fortunate than myself have political principles which serve them in forming their judgments of the past I had none; if, indeed, I had any motive in undertaking this work, it was to seek for political principles. Thus far I have attained to scarcely more than one; and this is so simple that it will seem puerile, and that I hardly dare enunciate it. Nevertheless I have adhered to it, and in what the reader is about to peruse my judgments are all derived from that; its truth is the measure of theirs. It consists wholly in this observation: that human society, especially a modern society, is a vast and complicated thing. Hence the difficulty in knowing and comprehending it. For the same reason it is not easy to handle the subject well. It follows that a cultivated mind is much better able to do this than an uncultivated mind, and a man specially qualified than one who is not. From these two last truths flow many other consequences, which, if the reader deigns to reflect on them, he win have no trouble in defining.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the rise of the French Jacobins, a political organization that emerged during the tumultuous French Revolution. The author examines the evolution of their ideology, tracing its roots in Enlightenment philosophy and the social and economic conditions of the time. At the heart of the Jacobin movement was the belief in popular sovereignty, which they argued implied the right to overthrow an oppressive government and establish a new one based on the will of the people. The author goes on to describe the Jacobins' rise to power, their conflict with more moderate factions within the revolutionary movement, and their eventual establishment of the Reign of Terror. Through a detailed analysis of Jacobin speeches, writings, and actions, the book reveals the psychological and intellectual underpinnings of their extreme and often violent behavior. By placing the Jacobins within the broader context of the French Revolution, the author provides a nuanced understanding of their motivations and impact. The book offers valuable insights into the nature of political extremism, the dangers of unchecked ideology, and the fragility of democracy in times of social upheaval. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330977767_0
