Excerpt from Select Documents, Illustrative of the History of the French Revolution, Vol. 1: The Constituent Assembly This work is an attempt to tell the story of the French Revolution almost m the words of the French men of the time. Many works have been written on the causes of the Revolution, and on the philosophy which guided it; but, so far as I am aware, no attempt similar to this has been made to show the impression left by events on contemporary Frenchmen. That such. An effort is highly presumptuous, I readi] acknowledge; and, consequently, a few words on t e Ian of the book may not be out of place, in view of t e excessive abundance of material, necessitating a somewhat arbitrary selection of the different branches of the subject.
