Publisher's Synopsis
""The Eve of the French Revolution"" by Edward J. Lowell is a historical account of the events leading up to the French Revolution. The book explores the political, economic, and social factors that contributed to the revolution, including the rise of Enlightenment ideas, the financial crisis of the French monarchy, and the growing discontent among the lower classes. Lowell also analyzes the key figures of the revolution, such as Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and Maximilien Robespierre, and their roles in shaping the course of the revolution. With detailed research and analysis, ""The Eve of the French Revolution"" provides a comprehensive understanding of one of the most significant events in European history.There is perhaps no great country inhabited by civilized man more favored by nature than France. Possessing every variety of surface from the sublime mountain to the shifting sand-dune, from the loamy plain to the precipitous rock, the land is smiled upon by a climate in which the extremes of heat and cold are of rare occurrence. The grape will ripen over the greater part of the country, the orange and the olive in its southeastern corner. The deep soil of many provinces gives ample return to the labor of the husbandman. If the inhabitants of such a country are not prosperous, surely the fault lies rather with man than with nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
