Ebook: The Coming Of The French Revolution

The author disclaims any other intention than that of reconstructing the main outlines of the four acts into which he arranges the revolutionary happenings from roughly the summer of 1788 to October, 1789. These developments he calls the aristocratic, the bourgeois, the popular and the peasant revolutions. Moments of deepest dramatic intensity -- the storming of the Bastille, the unbelievable and mad night of August.
