Book Description
Excerpt from The History of France From the Earliest Times to 1848, Vol. 2 of 8 A second fact, less apparent and less remarkable, but nevertheless, not without importance or without effect upon the history of the kingship in France, is the extreme variety Of character, of faculties, of intellectual and moral bent, of policy and personal conduct amongst the French kings. In the long roll of thirty-three kings who reigned in France from Hugh Capet to Louis XVI. There were kings wise and kings foolish, kings able and kings incapable, kings rash and kings slothful, kings earnest and kings frivolous, kings saintly and kings licentious, kings good and sympathetic towards their people, kings egotistical and concerned solely about them selves, kings lovable and beloved, kings sombre and dreaded or detested. As We go forward and encounter them on our 'way, all these kingly characters will be seen appearing and acting in all their diversity and all their incoherence. Abso lute monarchical power in France was, almost in every succes sive reign, singularly modified, being at one time aggravated and at another alleviated according to the ideas, sentiments, morals, and spontaneous instincts of the monarchs. Nowhere else, throughout the great European monarchies, has the dif ference between kingly personages exercised SO much influ ence on government and national condition. In that country the free action of individuals has filled a prominent place and taken a prominent part in the course Of events.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of France From the Earliest Times to 1848, Vol. 2 of 8 That the kingship occupied an important place and played an important part in the history of France is an evident and universally recognized fact. But to what causes this fact was due and what particular characteristics gave the kingship in France that preponderating influence which, in weal and in woe, it exercised over the fortunes of the country, is a question which has been less closely examined and which still remains vague and obscure. This question it is which we would now shed light upon and determine with some approach to precision. We cannot properly comprehend and justly appreciate a great historical force until we have seen it issuing from its primary source and followed it in various developments. At the first glance, two facts strike us in the history of the kingship of France. it was in France that it adopted soonest and most persistently maintained its fundamental principle, heredity. In the other monarchical states of Europe - in England, in Germany, in Spain, and in Italy - drivers principles at one time election, and at another right of conquest, have been mingled with or substituted for the heredity of the throne; different dynasties have reigned; and England has had her Saxon, Danish, and Norman kings, her Plantagenets, her Tudors, her Stuarts, her Nassaus, her Brunswicks.
