Book Description
Excerpt from Constitutional History of France The author of this essay has made some attempt briefly to outline the intellectual, social, and political causes which led to the changes in the form of government of France, and at the same time to sketch the salient features of her organic law. Parliamentary governments, like that of Great Britain, and presidential systems, similar to that of the United States, have been compared to the parliamentary Republic of France. Such an extended period of French history has been dealt with that it has only been possible to accord a brief consideration to the many questions of Constitutionalism, which would, under other circumstances, have received a closer analysis than the cursory one which the author has made. However, it was intended to produce a general commentary and criticism, and reference is therefore invited to the Constitutional laws which have been translated and placed in the. appendix of this work, in support of the positions assumed. Although the Constitutional life of France lies within the period treated in this essay, still it is true that as early as the time that immediately followed the Middle Ages, society revived and secured popular franchises from the Crown and the nobles. These historic facts disclose the very germs of Constitutional law. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Constitutions: And Other Select Documents Illustrative of the History of France 1789-1901 The practice of studying documents in connection with the history courses given in American universities, colleges, and high schools has now become so general, and the results attained so satisfactory, that the method no longer requires any defence. With the introduction of the system has come a new kind of manual, the document look. So many excellent books of this description have already appeared that the editor of still another may be reasonably expected to offer an adequate explanation for its publication. Three considerations have induced me to prepare this volume. The first of these is personal and local. For several years past I have made a practice of dividing my class in modern European history into small sections which I could meet once each week around the seminary table. At these meetings we have studied together a considerable part of the documents here included, but the work has been hampered by the lack of a convenient collection of the documents. Fidelity to the interest of my pupils seemed to impose upon me the obligation to remove this difficulty. The second consideration lies in the attractiveness of the documents. After considerable experience in the use of various classes of documents upon European history I have reached the conclusion that students find the modern French documents more attractive than any others. Doubtless the chief reasons for this preference are that modern documents arc more easily comprehended than those of more remote periods and that the style of the French is superior to that of English and German documents. Since documentary study must usually be confined to a small part of the field traversed by a class, I believe that for classes in modern European history the preference of the students may well be allowed to control the selection of the period to be studied. The third consideration is the importance of the field covered. The history of France since the beginning of the revolution surely deserves a volume in English presenting as large a proportion as possible of the important documents. The task of selecting the documents for a book of this description is a difficult one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of French Public Law This seamless web of our own legal history unites us inseparably to the history of Western and Southern Europe. Our main interest must naturally center on deciphering the pattern which lies directly before us, - that of the anglo-american law. But in tracing the warp and woof of its structure we are brought inevi tably into a larger field Of vision. The story of Western Continental Law is made up, in the last analysis, of two great movements, racial and intellectual. One is the Germanic migrations, planting a solid growth of Germanic custom everywhere, from Danzig to Sicily, from London to Vienna. The other is the posthumous power of Roman law, forever resisting, struggling, and coalescing with the other. A thousand detailed combinations, of varied types, are developed, and a dozen distinct systems now survive in independence. But the result is that no one of them can be fully understood without surveying and tracing the whole. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of France, Vol. 2 It is not always just, however, to condemn a country for its loss of liberty. Representative fi'eedom, that great political result of modern times, was as little the effect of human providence, as the great physical discoveries that have con tributed with it to change the face of civilization. Had not England preserved the boon more by a devoted attachment to old institutions than by any legislative' skill, it is to be feared that not even all our modern ingenuity could have invented a durable constitution. If the French, then, are to be blamed, it is more for fickleness than servility; and even this censure will be rendered lighter by considering the causes that led to the different fate of liberty in the two countries.

Book Description
Excerpt from Constitutional and Organic Laws of France In the preparation of this historical introduction the writer has relied almost exclusively upon the Oficial reports of the parliamentary proceedings. In order to avoid cumbering the pages with foot-notes, dates are introduced very freely into the narrative, SO that all facts and statements may be easily verified. One may use either the/ournal Ofia'el for the entire period, or, what is rather more agreeable, the Annales de i'assemblee Natz'onale for the years 1871-1876, thejonrnal Oju'el for 1876-1880, and the Annales de la Chambre des Deputes and the A nnales da sbnat since 1881. A brief list of general works helpful on the subject might include Jules Favre, Gouvernernent de to Defense Natiomzle, 3 vols.; Jules Simon, Gouvernement de M'. Thurs, 2 vols.; Theodore Duret, Histoire de Quatre Ans (1870 3 vols.: E. Littre, Eta blessernent de la Troisz'erne Republz'qtce; Bard et Robiquet, La Constitution aazse de 1875; A. Daniel, l'annee Iblz'h'qne (annually since Robert et Oougny, Dz'ch'onnaz're des Rzrlementaires Fransazs, 1789-1889, 5 vols.
