Synopsis
Excerpt from Camille Desmoulins and His Wife: Passages From the History of the Dantonists This history may then be read with confidence. In it will be found nothing insincere, nothing which is not borne out by facts, based upon a document, or proved by some written evidence, whether already known, or published for the first time in this volume. Our era is that of exactness and of patience in the matter of historic research. It does not boast the lofty flights of genius, but it has at least the virtue of respect for truth; which is, perhaps, the most praiseworthy of virtues, for, to our mind, it leads to all the others. It was no easy task for the author to make up his mind to close this work, which was the joy and the hope of his youth. What bright and happy dreams he had dreamed over it With what intense pleasure he had turned over the faded yellow papers of the Archives With what emotion he had opened the records of the revolutionary tribunals With what pain he had watched the falling, one by one, of so many noble and intellectual heads How he had rejoiced to find in those faded pages the memory and the echo of many glorious days When the following chapters shall be read, a gloomy contrast must necessarily be drawn between that past and the present, or rather, between the past of eighty years ago and the past of yesterday. How great France then was, soaring above the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Just as he had terminated his researches into the life and character of the men on whom he proposed to form a judgment, the late war between France and Prussia broke out, and the terrible days which led France for a moment to the brink of destruction ensued. Not until after those dark days of cruel trial had come to an end did the historian resume his interrupted task, bringing to its fulfilment greater calmness of mind and increased certitude of experience; for, by the light of events of which he has been the sorrowful eyewitness, he has contemplated the facts of an eventful past not yet a century old. Such periods of national trouble as that through which we have just passed have one element of consolation amid their bitterness; they force the least reflective minds into attention and thought. They are the hours of 'examination of conscience' for peoples. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

- s***s (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller was fine, arrived promptly with good packaging and in perfect condition. But I should have asked questions about the book. It is really just a recreation of a collection of pages from old catalogues. I was hoping for more information & history of some of the Chickering models. This was not worth $18 to me. Would have been helpful if the seller had given examples of some pages.
