Product Information

Excerpt from The Storm and Its Portents: Scenes From the Reign of Louis XVI It may be doubtful whether the great French Revolution that began so well and ended so tragically, has been of any greater benefit to mankind than to Show in the most vivid colours to what height the passions of the human race may be carried under some circumstances. But it is evident that the fearful crisis was brought about by the' state of society at, and for some time previous to this particular period of modern history, and the following scenes and Sketchescomprised between the years 1770 and display a number of dramatic incidents and phases of domestic life that may t be entirely devoid of interest either to the historian, the philosopher, or the lover of romance. In writing the following pages I have adhered to the chrological order of the events here related. None of the episodes are directly connected with each other more than that they form part of one vast whole, the minuter details of which they help to fill up. There is thing but profit to be got from such study, and the more minutely the period of Louis XVI. Is Sifted by posterity the more certainly will future generations avoid the reproduction of such disastrous misfortunes as characterized that period. Finally, I may be allowed to state that the whole of these sketches are w published for the first time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
