Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The French Revolution: A Historical Sketch
Most English readers derive their knowledge of the Revolution from the great work of Carlyle, which is really a marvellous prose epic, rather than a history, and is far from accurate, in View of the many facts which have been brought to light since its publication. Of more recent date is the scholarly and judicial history of Professor H. Morse Stephens, but it ends with the year 1793, and unfortunately has never been completed.
