Excerpt from La Sorcière: The Witch of the Middle Ages
The only physician of the people for a thousand years was the Witch. The emperors, kings, popes, and richer barons had indeed their doctors of Salerno, their Moors and Jews but the bulk of people in every state, the world as it might well be called, consulted none but the Saga, or wise-woman. When she could not cure them, she was insulted, was called a Witch But generally, from a respect not unmixed with fear, she was called good lady or fair lady (belle dame bella donna tie), the very name we give to the fairies.

About the Author:
(born Aug. 21, 1798, Paris, Francedied Feb. 9, 1874, Hyres) French nationalist historian. He taught history and philosophy before he was appointed head of the historical section of the Record Office in 1831. His time there provided him with unique resources for his life's work, the 17-volume Histoire de France (183367). His method, an attempt to resurrect the past by immersing his own personality in his narrative, resulted in a historical synthesis of great dramatic power, though the 11 volumes that appeared from 1855 to 1867 are distorted by his hatred of priests and kings, hasty or abusive treatment of documents, and mania for symbolic interpretation. His other works include the vivid and impassioned Histoire de la rvolution franaise, 7 vol. (184753). In his later years he wrote a series of lyrical books on nature, displaying his superb prose style.
