"About a third of the work is given to Richelieu; about a third (six chapters out of twenty) to the Fronds; and three chapters at the end are of a general nature, upon the administration, society, and religion. The reader lays aside the book with a higher estimate of Mazarin's ability and character. The style is for the most part excellent— serious and perspicuous in discussion and in the delineation of character, animated in narration." _The Nation, September 9, 1886._

In Mr. Lowell's view, the year 1789 is a date which "marks the outbreak in legislation and politics of ideas which had already been working for a century, and which have changed the face of the civilized world." His book is a thoughtful study of those ideas in their rise and development.

MARBOT, Baron de. Memoirs [1793-1814]; translated by A. J. Butler. London: Longmans, Green & Co. 1892. 2 volumes.
"It is as the vivacious exponent of the spirit of the Grande Armée that he possesses the most serious interest for the historical student. Others have chronicled the deeds of that army, others have contributed to its anecdotic history, others have surpassed him in the skilful narration of its military achievements; but no one except Marbot has so unwittingly but so truly revealed its spirit in all its heroism and its weakness." _H. M. Stephens, Review (Academy, May 21, 1892)._

Gouverneur Morris succeeded Jefferson as American Minister to Franca in 1792; but he had been in France most of the time since 1789, and he remained until 1794. His diary of the events of those terrible years is the most valuable record that has come down from them.

In the two volumes which have appeared, Mr. Stephens has fully justified his undertaking to write a history of the French Revolution based on the abundant new material that has come to light since Thiers, Carlyle Sybel, Michelet and Mignet wrote.

The histories of M. Thiers have been losing their early reputation under criticisms which challenge their accuracy and question their spirit. He wrote as a champion of the Revolution and an admirer of the "glory" of the Napoleonic period,—not always in the temper of a scrupulous historian.

"George Finlay, more perhaps than any other modern writer, belongs to the same class as these earlier historians who began a story of remote ages and carried it on into times and scenes in which they were themselves spectators and actors. … While Grote put forth volume after volume amid the general applause of scholars, Finlay toiled on at his thankless task, amid every form of neglect and discouragement, till he made a few here and there understand that there was a Roman Empire of the East. Full of faults his book is, in form, in matter, in temper; but it is a great work all the same." _E. A. Freeman, Methods of Historical Study, pages 285-286._
