IX, Part I, Regne de Louis XVI, 1774-1789 , the latest and most authoritative treatment in French; Felix Rocquain, The Revolutionary Spirit Preceding the French Revolution, condensed Eng. trans. by J. D. Hunting , a suggestive account of various disorders immediately preceding 1789; Leon Say, Turgot, a famous little biography translated from the French by M. B. Anderson ; W. W. Stephens, Life and Writings of Turgot , containing extracts from important decrees of Turgot; Alphonse Jobez, La France sous Louis XV, 6 vols.
If M. Taine's book were a piece of abstract social analysis, the above remark would not be true. But it is a study of the concrete facts of French life and society, and to make such a study effective, the element of the chronicle, as in Lacretelle or Jobez, cannot rightly be dispensed with. Let us proceed to the chief thesis of the book.
