A propos de cet article

This copy of “The Story of the French Revolution” by Albert Bushnell Hart (Professor of Government, Harvard University) is a complete 1914 stand-alone article disbound from a larger collection of disparate subject matters. It was published by the Mentor Association Department of History as "The “Mentor", Volume 2, No. 18, Serial No. 70. This disbound monograph consists of 24 pages, including those that make up the sepia gravures (with text on the reverse sides); it has 11 black-and-white pictures through the text. Included with the monograph is a brief list for further reading. At the end of the article are 6 handsome sepia gravure plates printed on a stiff card stock. There are explanatory texts for each picture. Through the text, monochrome illustrations present other well-known events and personages of the French Revolution. The six gravures depict Louis XVI, Portrait by A. F. Callet; Marie Antionette and her children, Painting by Vigée LeBrun; The Oath of the Jeu De Paume, painting by J. L. David; Robespierre, by Vigneron after the portrait by Danloux; Rouget DeLisle singing the Marseillaise for the first time, Painting by I. A. A. Pils; Charlotte Corday in prison, painting by Charles Louis Muller. The article, which is quite interesting, starts with the following : “ People love to date events from some great catastrophe (ie: ‘Not long after the Jonestown Flood’, ‘Just after the San Francisco Earthquake’, etc.) In like manner mankind notes a succession of great events which are milestones in history, - (‘The Fall of the Roman Empire’, ‘The Norman Conquest of England’, ‘The discovery of America’, etc.) Of all these startling events none is more deeply impressed upon European and American nations than the French Revolution. It burst forth like an exploding gas well; it shook to pieces one of the proudest kingdoms on Earth; it set up the first large European republic since the time of Rome; it penetrated and terrified all Europe. Never from that time to this has the politics, history, or government of the world gone back to its old course.” I must add that the above was written in 1914, and the author could have had no awareness of the explosive and dire events yet to come in the Twentieth Century.
