Seller's Description:
Illustrated by Folding Map. Very Good with no dust jacket. 0404003230. Library stamps/marks/labels/pocket, otherwise light wear. Solid copy.; Reprint of the 1902 London: George Allen edition. Original subtitle: Farewell letters of victims of the guillotine. "This is not a History of the French Revolution, for there are Histories enough and to spare, and no educated man lacks acquaintance with its leading events. It is a contribution to the psychology of those events or views them from new standpoints. For it is not sufficient to know that they happened; we should seek to know why they happened. It is consequently necessary to probe the mind of the actors and sufferers, and I have endeavoured, whenever possible, to let them tell their own story and describe their own emotions. In the case of documents not intended for publication we penetrate behind the scenes, and are almost in the position of questioning the eye-witnesses."-author's Preface.; Ex-Library; 551 pages.
