Book Description
Excerpt from The History and Theory of Revolutions Let us look, then, if possible, a little into this matter of Revolutions. Let us examine their facts, find out if possible their theory, and trace some leading outlines of their history keeping in view always the special relations of our investiga tions to the case of our own civil troubles. And it is no affecta tion to say, that when a man ventures to attempt such a theme, at such a time as this, it behooves him to gather all his best thoughts about him; to weigh well the theories he presents, and the judgments he renders; and to point the eye of inquiry and hope to that only which will not finally deceive. What, then, is Revolution? What is its definition? Tat its theory? What has been its history? When is it justifiable? When probably successful? These are questions which may indicate the general drift of inquiry which is before us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History and Theory of Revolutions The present generation in this country have heretofore known revolutions only as matters of history, or as events occurring in some distant part of the world. We have read of them, heard of them with the hearing of the ear; but now a revolution, or an attempt at one, has become to us a present and most visibly real fact. The word has always had, for the public ear, a portentous and startling sound. We have been accustomed, and justly so, to connect with revolution the idea of civil war, as the world has known it hitherto, with all its atrocities and horrors; its wild, uncontrollable phrenzy, setting man against man, and community against community, with all the ungovernable fury of a tempest; its fratricidal hate and bloodshed; its unleashing i all the worst passions of the human heart, which, in their wild and lawless revel, respect not the rights of man or the virtue of woman; its smoking and ruined cities, its pillaged towns, its deserted and untilled fields, and all its sanguinary paraphernalia of dungeons and scaffolds, guillotines and gibbets, armies and battle-fields.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Evolution of Revolution My object in writing this book is to give a sketch of economic influences upon the growth of human society. At a time when revolutionary movements are going on all over the civilised world we may learn, to some extent, from the past what to avoid in the present and the future. My obligations to the works of Lewis H. Morgan and Karl Marx are manifest, though I have ventured to differ, occasionally, from those great writers. In dealing with the downfall of slavery I have drawn upon the admirable Italian school of historic economy headed by Ciccotti and Salvioli. I am conscious of many shortcomings in my attempt to survey briefly the early institutions and subsequent development of mankind. But I hope it may induce younger men than myself to work out a more complete study of this great subject. The title was suggested to me by my friend, Mr. Curtis Brown.

Excerpt from The French Revolution and the Rise of Napoleon This mighty and universal movement seemed, in the eighteenth cen tury, to strive to recover by redoubled ardor the ground Which it had lost in the seventeenth. What had hitherto been only theory began to be converted into practice. A consciousness of strength, never felt before.

Book Description
Excerpt from Discourse on the Causes of Political Revolutions In discoursing on Revolutions, in the brief space designed to be occupied by this disquisition, it will be necessary to seize but on the prominent parts of the investigation; to overlook those secondary or proximate causes which only serve to develop latent properties; and endeavour, if possible, to reach the first principle of those disturbances in states, which the writer, above quoted, pronounces to be indescribable and hidden. Nor will it be necessary for my purpose, to enter into an elaborate or erudite history of the Revolutions of antiquity, in order to establish the theory I purpose to illustrate: a glance at the principal Revolutions of modern days will be all that I shall attempt; and among such, those of England, in 1610 and 1688, that of America, in 1780, and the Revolutions of France, in 1789 and 1830, will prove sufficient, I conceive.
