Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This volume, as indicated by the title, is designed to show the way to the beginner, to satisfy and more especially to excite his initial curiosity. It affords an adequate idea of the march of facts and of ideas. The reader is led, somewhat rapidly, from the remote origins to the most recent efforts of the human mind. It should be a convenient repertory to which the mind may revert in order to see broadly the general opinion of an epochand what connected it with those that followed or preceded it. It aims above all at being a frame in which can conveniently be inscribed, in the course of further studies, new conceptions more detailed and more thoroughly examined. It will have fulfilled its design should it incite to research and meditation, and if it prepares for them correctly.

Auguste Émile Faguet was born at La Roche-sur-Yon, in Vendée, France on December 17, 1847.
He attended the Ecole Normale Supérieure, and after his graduation taught in various lycées and at the Sorbonne.
After teaching for some time in La Rochelle and Bordeaux, Faguet returned to Paris to act as assistant professor of poetry in the university. He became professor in 1897.
Faguet's literary criticism may be placed halfway between the scientific method of Ferdinand Brunetière and the impressionism of Jules Lemaître, whom he succeeded as a critic on the Journal des Débats.
Among his best known works are his Etudes littéraires sur le XVIe, XVIIe, XVIIIe, and XIXe siècles (1885-1893; French Seventeenth-Century Literature and Its European Influence, 1908), Politiques et Moralistes du XIXe siècle (1891-1899; Politicians and Moralists, 1928), Politique comparée de Montesquieu, Rousseau et Voltaire (1902), his studies on Flaubert (1899) and on Rousseau (1912).

Faguet was above all a curious mind. Primarily interested in ideas, he was attracted by a great variety of subjects, about which he wrote in a lively, witty, imaginative style.
