Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

(The French Eevolution has been related in more detail and...)
The French Eevolution has been related in more detail and from a greater variety of standpoints than any other event in history. Carlyle has depicted it in flashes of lightning, Louis Blanc has described it as a Robespierrist, Michelet has viewed it as a Girondin, Taine has dissected it with the scalpel of a sceptic. The Royalist side alone is unrepresented; for, though among contemporary, pamphleteers and philosophers it commanded an overwhelming preponderance of ability need I mention Burke, De Maistre, and Mallet du Pan? it has produced no historian worthy of the name. Besearches in public archives and the appearance of fresh memoirs have of late years filled in or corrected many details, but have not appreciably altered the general effect. A Frenchman is necessarily a partisan, for the Evolution is still too unfinished to be looked at by him in perspective, and political parties are still mainly based on their conceptions of it.

Born at Diss, Norfolk, and baptised on 7 August 1836, he was the only son of John Alger, a corn merchant there, by his wife Jemima, daughter of Salem Goldworth of Morning Thorpe, Norfolk.
Educated at Diss, Alger became a journalist at the age of 16. At first he wrote for the Norfolk News, and afterwards transferred his services to the Oxford Journal. In 1866 Alger joined the parliamentary reporting staff of The Times, and after eight years of that job was sent to Paris in 1874 to act as assistant to Henri Opper de Blowitz, the Times correspondent there.
He stayed for 28 years.
In 1902 Alger retired from The Times on a pension, and settled in London.
