Book Description
Excerpt from La Vendee The history of France in 1792 has been too fully written, and too generally read to leave the novelist any excuse for describing the state of Paris at the close of the summer of that year. It is known to everyone that the palace of Louis XVI was sacked on the 10th of August. That he himself with his family took refuge in the National Assembly, and that he was taken thence to the prison of the Temple. The doings on the fatal 10th of August, and the few following days had, however, various effects in Paris, all of which we do not clearly trace in history. We well know how the Mountain became powerful from that day; that from that day Marat ceased to shun the light, and Danton to curb the licence of his tongue; that then, patriotism to France began to totter, and that, from that time, Paris ceased to be a fitting abode for aught that was virtuous, innocent, or high-minded; but the steady march of history cannot stop to let us see the various lights in which the inhabitants of Paris regarded the loss of a King, and the commencement of the first French Republic.

Book Description
Excerpt from Historical Memoirs on La VendeeThe Memoirs, of which a translation is now offered to the Public, have recently appeared in a Collection of Memoirs on the French Revolution, now publishing in Paris. The principal events of the Vendean War are here slightly sketched - but the Narrative contains the most minute particulars of the sufferings of the in habitants of that devoted district, forming a picture of the horrors of civil war, perhaps unequalled by any similar delineations of ferocity and suffering. These Memoirs are distinguished by a tone of great simpli city and impartiality, which is the best evidence of their truth. The translator trusts they Will be re ceived as an appropriate companion to the interest ing Memoirs of the Marchioness de Bonchamps.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Scenes From The War In la VendeeIn I791, she married Monsieur Lescure, to whom she had become engaged When quite a child. The portrait which she has drawn for us of her husband, depicts him as a F rench gentleman of the most perfect type, well educated, modest, brave, loyal and religious. The wife seems to have been of a Spirit similar to her husband the graphie account of the Vendean war, with its tale of heroism, privations and woe, unparalleled save perhaps in the history of our own Indian Mutiny, could only have been written by one who, having been an eye-witness, possessed the qualities requisite for such an undertaking. It is from her Memoires that the French historian Mignet seems to have derived in full the brief account of the war in La Vendee which appears in his great work on the Revolution. This may here be quoted, as the best general introduction to these extracts from Madame de la Rochejaquelein's Memoires.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of the War in La Vendee, and the Little Chouannerie I! Is commonly argued by writers on the French Revolution that the state of the Church, as well as of the nation in general, must have been exceedingly corrupt, and that both clergy and people were equally destitute of religious belief and of moral principle, or so total a disruption of all the bonds of society could never have taken place, attended an it was with circumstances of unprewdented confusion and horror; and they point to the fact of priests and religious, and even bishops, openly apostatising from Christianity, and abandoning themselves to all the infamous license of the times, and the atrocious crimes perpetrated by a people so lately, in profession at least, Catholic.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Tragedy of an Army: La Vendée in 1793 These apologies may be made for the drastic measures taken by the authorities when first the re bellion broke out. For the wanton ferocity marking later stages of the struggle, more especially the ter rible days when, north of the Loire, the Grande Armée was practically at the mercy of its conquerors, no such excuses can be urged; and the callous dis regard Of human suffering then shown has not Often been equalled.

Book Description
Excerpt from Brittany and La Vendee: Tales and Sketches; With a Notice of the Life and Literary Character of Emile Souvestre Do you see that figure of a nymph leaning on the symbolic urn P Her fair hair is wreathed with silver willow; her soft blue eye wanders into the depths of heaven; her hands are full of fruits, and stretched towards a group of children; and her beautiful form lies gracefully reclining along the flowery grass. It is the Loire, such as art has been able to express her in marble - such as your own imagination, when you had once seen, would personify, her. Force, impetuosity, and grandeur, may rule elsewhere; here is the reign of beauty and fertility. In a course of more than a hundred and eighty leagues, the corn-coloured river, as an old chronicler has it, flows through meadows, vineyards, woods, and great cities, without once finding a barren or a desert spot. From its source to the sea, on either side, the eye sees only\flocks feeding, chimneys smoking, and ploughmen who seem sing ing at their ploughs. The stream glides noiselessly over its sandy bed - among islets nodding their plumes of osier, willow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Last Vendée, Vol. 2 of 2: Or the She-Wolves of Machecoul Maitre Jacques had resumed his usual seat on the trunk of a tree, and was peaceably conversing with Aubin Courte Joie, to whom he related the incidents of the capture he had made, with the same circumstantial particularity with which a villager tells his wife of a purchase he has just concluded at a market. Michel, who was naturally somewhat overcome by the affair and by his wound, was Sitting, or rather lying, on the grass. Petit-pierre, standing beside him, was gazing, with an attention not exempt from disgust, at the faces of the bandits; which was easy to do, because, having satis fied their curiosity, they had gone back to their usual pursuits, - that is to say, to their psalm-singing, their games, their Sleep, and the polishing of their Weapons. And yet, while playing, drinking, Singing, and cleansing their guns, carbines, and pistols, they never lost Sight for an instant of the two prisoners who, by way of precaution, were placed in the very centre of the Open. It was then that petit-pierre, withdrawing her eyes from the bandits, noticed for the first time that her companion was wounded.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Last Vendee, Vol. 1 of 2: Or the She-Wolves of Machecoul IF you ever chanced, dear reader, to go from Nantes to Bourgneuf you must, before reaching saint-philbert, have skirted the southern corner of the lake of grand-lieu, and then, continuing your way, you arrived, at the end of one hour or two hours, according to whether you were on foot or in a carriage, at the first trees of the forest of Machecoul. There, to left of the road, among a fine clump of trees belonging, apparently, to the forest from which it is sepa rated only by the main road, you must have seen the sharp points of two slender turrets and the gray roof of a little castle hidden among the foliage. The cracked walls of this manor-house, its broken win dows, and its damp roofs covered with wild iris and para site mosses, gave it, in Spite of its feudal pretensions and flanking turrets, so forlorn an appearance that no one at a passing glance would envy its possessor, were it not for its exquisite Situation Opposite to the noble trees of the forest of Machecoul, the verdant billows of which rose on the horizon as far as the eye could reach.
