Synopsis
Excerpt from A Popular History of France: Condensed From the Dfext of Emile De Bonnechose, and Brought Down to the First Years of the Present Republic
The well-known and deservedly popular History of France by Emile de Bonnechose has been selected to form the basis of the present work because of its great intrinsic merits. It is in every way desirable that the English-speaking peoples, all over the globe, should become increasingly familiar with the history of the great French nation, with which they have been so intimately connected in the past, as friends and neighbours, with whom they have been, not unfrequently, in hostility, sometimes through misunderstandings which fuller knowledge and sympathy would have prevented, sometimes through the ambition and recklessness of kings and rulers, and sometimes undoubtedly for great principles. The extent to which the various French provinces, with their diverse peoples, influenced English, Scotch and Irish life and history at successive stages, and the reacting influences of the British nation and character upon France, cannot be comprehended without a study of the history of the French nation. English history alone gives but a one-sided view of matters, and few writers have been able to shake off the partiality of patriotism so as to be entirely fair to our neighbours and frequent opponents. Thus, the value to an Englishman's education of reading the romantic and varied narrative of French history, as told by a Frenchman of approved critical ability, can hardly be over-estimated.
