Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 2
In this volume, as in those preceding it and in those to come, there will be found only the history of Public Powers. Other historians will write that of diplomacy, of war, of the finances, of the Church: my subject is a limited one. To my great regret, however, this new part fills an entire volume; and the last part, on the revolutionary government, will be as long.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the rise of the French Jacobins, a political organization that emerged during the tumultuous French Revolution. The author examines the evolution of their ideology, tracing its roots in Enlightenment philosophy and the social and economic conditions of the time. At the heart of the Jacobin movement was the belief in popular sovereignty, which they argued implied the right to overthrow an oppressive government and establish a new one based on the will of the people. The author goes on to describe the Jacobins' rise to power, their conflict with more moderate factions within the revolutionary movement, and their eventual establishment of the Reign of Terror. Through a detailed analysis of Jacobin speeches, writings, and actions, the book reveals the psychological and intellectual underpinnings of their extreme and often violent behavior. By placing the Jacobins within the broader context of the French Revolution, the author provides a nuanced understanding of their motivations and impact. The book offers valuable insights into the nature of political extremism, the dangers of unchecked ideology, and the fragility of democracy in times of social upheaval.
