The History of Civilization: From the Fall of the Roman Empire to the French Revolution, Volume 1 - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
The following Lectures were delivered by M. Guizot, in the jears 1828, 1829, and 1830, at theO ld Sorbonne, now the seat of the Factdte des Lettres, of Paris, on alternate days with MM. Cousin andY illemain, a triad of lecturers whose brilliant exhibitions, the crowds which thronged their lecture rooms, and the stir they excited in the active and aspiring minds so numerous among the French youth, the future hiitoriau will commemorate as among the remarkable appearances of that important era. The first portion of these Lectures, those comprising the General History of Civilization in Europe, have already ap|)eared amongst us; theL ectures on the History of CivU i, zaiion in France are now for the first time introduced to nglish readers; a circumstance, from their high value, well calculated to surprise those who are not acquainted with the litter want of system in our adoption of the great productions rof the continent; a want of system which has hitherto kept theE nglish public in well-nigh total ignorance of the best works, of the best continental writers, and which it is one of the leading purposes of theE uropean Library to obj yiate.
