Book Description
Excerpt from Tales of the First French Revolution The old man was neatly powdered, and wore a livery coat, upon the shoulder of which the place of the discarded shoulder not was still visible. He took of? His hat with an air of much respect, looking round him at the same time with a certain constrained, suspicious, fearful air, and seemed to be watch ing whether any one was coming out after me; at the same time he stood up against the wall to let the boy pass before him. The lad had still hold of the bell-string, and was pulling it with all his might to the measure of the Marseillaise hymn. (it is possible you may some or other of you have heard of that tune.) And as he rang, he whistled the air, looking at me all the time with a sort of defiance, and ringing away till he had finished the last stave. I waited my young gentleman's time with proper submission, and then gravely stretching out my hand, presented him with a two sous piece, saying quietly, Let us have that over again, my good fellow.

Book Description
Excerpt from Edmee: A Tale of the French Revolution The king and queen were put to death, and so were hundreds, nay thousands, of the nobles and gentry of the country. For the leaders of the Revolution, seeing how badly things had gone under a éaa' government, foolishly thought, like children escaping from the rule of too harsh a schoolmaster, that the only way to be truly free and happy was to have no regular government at all, but for every one to do just what he pleased, with no regard for others, no respect for the eternal laws of right and wrong - a state of things which could not but become the worst of tyrannies, for it was the tyranny of the many instead of the few.

Book Description
Excerpt from Louis Duval: A Tale of the French Revolution Between sixty and seventy years ago, on a dismal April day, in one of the garrets of a large house, in one of the narrow streets of Paris, were to have been found, had they been sought, a wrinkled, lame, and half blind old woman, and a little boy about eight years old. The old woman's name, spelt English fashion, was Margaret - Margaret Duval, and that of the boy, who was her grandson, was Louis Duval. That old Margaret and her grandson were very poor, could easily have been seen. There was but little furniture in the room, and that was old: the broken walls were patched with coarse paper; while, cold and gloomy as was the weather, - and April weather, even in Paris, is often very cold and gloomy - not a spark of fire was visible on the hearth. But, in spite of these signs of poverty, there were signs also of respectability in that garret. It was clean, and so was the old woman, both in person and clothing; so also was the boy. The dress of Margaret, especially, showed that she had seen better days. As to that of Louis, it had not much, excepting its cleanliness, to distinguish him from the children of other poor families with which Paris abounded, and with which all large cities abound. He had on a coarse loose frock, and was barefoot. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
