Excerpt from A History of France From the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Second Empire in 1870 In conclusion it may be observed, that it has been the earnest endeavour of the Author to avoid the capital error of writing the History of France from an English point of view, a course which cannot fail to convey an unjust conception of the institutions, government, habits, and character of the people. What is needed is an im partial, genial, and even sympathetic account of French history. This has been the principle upon which the Work has been 1mdertaken but with what success it has been carried out is for competent critics to decide.
