The French Revolution
by

Publisher: Project Gutenberg
ISBN/ASIN: 1110764472
Number of pages: 255

Description:
The object of these few pages is not to recount once more the history of the Revolution: that can be followed in any one of a hundred text-books. Their object is rather to lay, if that be possible, an explanation of it before the English reader; so that he may understand both what it was and how it proceeded, and also why certain problems hitherto unfamiliar to Englishmen have risen out of it.
