The Leading Facts Of French History Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Leading Facts of French History This work is based mainly on the French histories of Guizot, Rambaud, Martin, and Duruy, supplemented with notes made by the author during a somewhat prolonged stay in France. In addition to the above-mentioned authorities, Kitchin's valuable English history of France and Sir James Stephen's Lectures have been consulted on all points of particular interest. Other works to which reference has been made will be found in the List of Books given in the Appendix. Several of the fourteen maps were furnished by the courtesy of P. V. N. Myers, recently Professor of History in the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, whose excellent "Outlines of Medieval and Modem History" is well known to teachers. Finally, the author desires to acknowledge his especial indebtedness to C. H. Smith, Professor of History in Yale University. That gentleman's thorough scholarship has constantly contributed suggestions which have been of the greatest value in the preparation of this book.
