Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Church and the French Revolution: A History of the Relations of Church and State, From 1789 to 1802 A celebrated author, who has read much and written well on the French Revolution, has justly remarked that "considering the qualities of the matter, one may perhaps reasonably feel that since the time of the Crusades, or earlier, there is no chapter of history so well worth studying." The present volume is devoted to that "side of this instructive and mournful history which is connected with the relations of Church and State." The translation is slightly abridged; but as the passages omitted are only of minor importance, it is substantially a reproduction of the original. Space has thus been gained for the addition of an index, a few notes, a chronological table, and an entirely new preface, written by the author expressly for this edition. The translation has been revised by one who has been my constant associate and untiring helper in this labour. I am also indebted to my friend and neighbour, the Rev. Richard Evans, for valuable suggestions offered during a perusal of the manuscript. May the work now introduced to the British public be promotive, through the Divine blessing, of the great cause of Religious Liberty, which is the basis of all liberty; for, as Vinet profoundly remarks, "The respect of a man or of a people for Religious Liberty, is the exact measure of their love for liberty in general: whoever does not love Religious Liberty does not really love any liberty."
