Histoire De La Révolution Française

Histoire De La Révolution Française, (1789- 1799,) par THÉOD. H. BARRAU. Paris : Hachette. 1857.

WE cannot vouch that we have here a new, original history of this important epoch, based on an independent study of historical sources ; but it is the very first history of the French Revolution we have known, not written in a partisan spirit, and bent on falsifying the facts in order to make political capital or to flatter national prejudices. It bears no evidence of any tendency whatever,-perhaps only because, with its more than five hundred pages, it is too short for that.
