Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Paris in 1789-94: 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 frame of 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. The volume takes no notice of the Parliamentary Assemblies, except their reception of picturesque or grotesque deputations, but it describes the local government of Paris, bodies which on some critical occasions coerced those Assemblies. It also shows what was the ordinary life of Parisians during that tragical period. I have utilised some of the masses of uncalendared manuscripts in the National Archives at Paris, and all references not otherwise indicated relate thereto.
