Ccllcs - ci emportent l'idee d'une sanction qui n'es! Pas moins necessaire qu'ellcs - memcs. Le progres ne peut etre vrai si les consequences sont fausses et reciproqument. A ce point de vue, on trouve la solution de toutes les difficultes morales opposee: i la boa de Dieu a sa toute puissance etc. Dans ces consideration:, le pro gres apparait comme le signe d'une lqi de l'ordre universel. Si cette hypothese est vraie, on doit trouver la trace de cette loi dans tous les ordres scientifiques; Elle doit former un lien encyclopediquo.

Excerpt from Histoire Parlementaire de la Revolution Francaise, Vol. 3: Histoire de l'Assemblee Constituante, Precedee d'une Histoire Abregee des Francais Depuis l'Etablissement de la Nationalite Francaise Jusqu'en 1789 Le premier de ces deux projets fut repris a l'occasion de la de putation de Bretagne que nous avons vue a la barre de l'assemblee, le 920 mars, et qui alla ensuite presenter ses hommages ala commune de Paris. M. Broussonnet ouvrit l'avis qu'on invitat toutes les armees citoyennes de France a envoyer chacune un homme sur mille a Paris, pour y preter le serment d'union devant l'assemblee nationale et le roi. Cette motion fut ajournee; mais l'auteur, per sistant, declara qu'il la proposerait aux soixante bataillons de la capitale. Au reste, la municipalite ne se faisait pas faute de s'em parer, dans toutes les occasions, d'une autorite qui ne lui appar tenait pas. Nous avons sous les yeux les proces - verbaux manu scrits de son petit conseil qu'on appelait bureau de la ville, et nous y voyons qu'elle commandait des fabrications de poudres, qu'elle en ordonnait des envois, qu'elle continuait d'exercer la censure sur les pieces de theatre, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Histoire Parlementaire de la Revolution Francaise, ou Journal des Assemblees Nationales, Depuis 1789 Jusqu'en 1815, Vol. 21: Contenant la Narration des Evenemens; Les Debats des Assemblees; Les Discussions des Principales Societes Populaires, Et Particulierement de la Societe des Jacobins; Les Proces-Verbaux de la Commune de Paris Afin de suivre regulierement ces changemens jusqu'aux temps ou nous sommes on est oblige de remonter jusqu'a l'organisation militaire des Romains; car de ce systeme naquit celui qui fut en vigueur sous les deux premieres races de nos mis, et qui est le'point de depart de toutes les modifications apportees par la cwilisation moderne. Chez les Romains, dans les premiers temps de la republique, la ville n'etait qu'un camp; la hierarchie entre les tribus du peuple n'etait fondee que sur la hierarchie des fonctions militaires sur la valeur du role que cha que classe de citoyens remplissait dans la guerre. Le senat etait le pou voir spirituel et le chef de ce corps. Lorsque Rome eut etendu ses con quetes, ses citoyens acquirent vis-a - vis des peuples soumis la position d'une caste guerriere et souveraine. Ils n'eurent plus alors qu'une fonc tion, celle de soldat c'etait parmi eux qu'on levait les legions destinees a maintenir l'obeissance, et a garder ou a etendre le domaine de la republi que.parmi les privileges dont ils jouissaient, nous n'en examinerons etnous n'en suivrons qu'un seul, celui du serment; il nous parait comprendre et resumer tous les droits dont la jouissance etait attachee au devoir mili taire. En effet, celui qui a le droit de preter serment possede aussi le droit de refuser l'obeissance; c'est-a-dire, en d'autres termes qu'il a une part quelconque dans la decision des affaires politiques. Cela etait vrai chez la nation que nous examinons le peuple participait en effet au gourer nement par l'election des magistrats, et a la formation des lois par ses votes. Mais ce qu'i avait de remarquable a Rome, c'est que le ser ment militaire ne se pretait pas une seule fois pour toute la vie.

Philippe Buchez was born on the 31st of March 1796 at Matagne-la-Petite (now part of the town of Doische), now in Belgium, then in the French department of the Ardennes.
He finished his general education in Paris, and afterwards applied himself to the study of natural science and medicine. In 1825 he graduated in medicine.
In 1821 he co-operated with Saint-Amand Bazard and others in founding a secret association, modelled on that of the Italian Carbonari, with the object of organizing a general armed rising against the government. The organization spread rapidly and widely, and displayed itself in repeated attempts at revolution. In one of these attempts, the affair at Belfort, Buchez was gravely compromised, although the jury which tried him did not find the evidence sufficient to warrant his condemnation. Graduating in medicine in 1825, he published with Ulisse Trelat a Precis elementaire d'hygiene. About the same time he became a member of the Saint-Simonian Society, presided over by Bazard, Barthelemy Prosper Enfantin, and Olinde Rodrigues, and contributed to its organ, the Producteur. He left it in consequence of aversion to the strange religious ideas developed by its "Supreme Father, " Enfantin, and began to elaborate what he regarded as a Christian socialism. For the exposition and advocacy of his principles he founded a periodical called L'Europeen. In 1833 he published an Introduction a la science de l'histoire, which was received with considerable favour (2nd ed. , improved and enlarged, 2 vols. , 1842). Notwithstanding its prolixity, this is an interesting work. The part which treats of the aim, foundation and methods of the science of history is valuable.
Buchez next edited, along with M. Roux-Lavergne (1802-1874), the Histoire parlementaire de la Revolution francaise (1833-1838; 40 vols. ). There is a review of it by Carlyle (Miscellanies), the first two parts of whose own history of the French Revolution are mainly drawn from it. The editors worked under the inspiration of a strong admiration of the principles of Robespierre and the Jacobins, and in the belief that the French Revolution was an attempt to realize Christianity. In the Essai d'un traite complet de philosophie au point de vue du Catholicisme et du progres (1839-1840) Buchez endeavoured to co-ordinate in a single system the political, moral, religious and natural phenomena of existence. Denying the possibility of innate ideas, he asserted that morality comes by revelation, and is therefore not only certain, but the only real certainty.
It was partly owing to the reputation which he had acquired by these publications, but still more owing to his connexion with the National newspaper, and with the secret societies hostile to the government of Louis Philippe, that he was raised, by the Revolution of 1848, to the presidency of the Constituent Assembly. He speedily showed that he was not possessed of the qualities needed in a situation so difficult and in days so tempestuous. He retained the position only for a very short time. After the dissolution of the assembly he was not re-elected. Thrown back into private life, he resumed his studies, and added several works to those which have been already mentioned. A Traite de politique (published 1866), which may be considered as the completion of his Traite de philosophie, was the most important of the productions of the last period of his life. His brochures are very numerous and on a great variety of subjects, medical, historical, political, philosophical, etc.
He died on the 12th of August 1865.
He found a disciple of considerable ability in M. A. Ott, who advocated and applied his principles in various writings.

The division of historical development into four great epochs originated by four universal revelations, of each epoch into three periods corresponding to desire, reasoning and performance, and of each of these periods into a theoretical and practical age—is merely ingenious.
He was a member of the Saint-Simonian Society.
