The Eve Of The French Revolution (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419161391)

The Eve of the French Revolution is a historical book written by Edward J. Lowell. The book provides a comprehensive account of the events that led up to the French Revolution, which took place in the late 18th century. The author explores the political, social, and economic factors that contributed to the revolution, including the reign of King Louis XVI, the rise of the bourgeoisie, and the Enlightenment movement. Lowell also examines the role of key figures such as Robespierre and Napoleon Bonaparte in the revolution. The book is well-researched and provides readers with an in-depth understanding of the complex factors that led to one of the most significant events in European history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the French Revolution or the history of Europe in the 18th century.There is perhaps no great country inhabited by civilized man more favored by nature than France. Possessing every variety of surface from the sublime mountain to the shifting sand-dune, from the loamy plain to the precipitous rock, the land is smiled upon by a climate in which the extremes of heat and cold are of rare occurrence. The grape will ripen over the greater part of the country, the orange and the olive in its southeastern corner. The deep soil of many provinces gives ample return to the labor of the husbandman. If the inhabitants of such a country are not prosperous, surely the fault lies rather with man than with nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
