Downloaded from https://www.holybooks.com TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. When the translator first began spending leisure hours on this book, he felt little interest, and would have spoken of his occupation in the tone of apology. He was wrong. He has almost unconsciously given to the American public a great work full of the burning genius of a great author. If this volume is not read and valued, it will not be its own fault ; for if it has any fault, and it has many, the first among them appears to him to be the worthy one, that it is too keen in its delicate satire, too fine in its exquisite wit for the dull ears, or, we should rather say, the dull eyes of too many who will look into it. When judged among Victor Hugo's works, it will take rank as one of the most complete. Not possessing the sensational and popular interest of a novel, it acquires dignity from its purely historical character and intense power from the fact that its author was an eye-witness of the events which he records, and a participant in the sufferings which he resents. Seldom do we have an historical mono- gram of more value. When judged on its own merits, with- out a comparison with other works by the author, it may be said that, notwithstanding its occasional extravagance of style, and its continual use of the nominative absolute, making it hard for the reader and an affliction to the translator ; and notwithstanding also its enormous French vanity, occasionally swelling to sacred allusions, which in another would be called Downloaded from https://www.holybooks.com 6 Translator s Preface, blasphemy, the book is of value in an artistic and scientific point of view, as containing passages of incomparable elo- quence, as being graphic and readable throughout, and as affording in its later portions a masterly analysis of crime. As to its moral tone, notwithstanding an occasional coarse is, allusion, it may be said to be everywhere high ; that every argument is based on morals and on conscience, and never do we discover the writer yielding a vulgar homage to success. Many of its predictions* have been singularly although tardily verified, and we can read in the light of "iSyo many prophesies with wonder, which in 1869 would have provoked a smile. The translator hopes that the work will be of benefit politically and morally, as well as intellectu- ally, and as a source of recreation ; although he cannot agree with all the positions taken in its pages, he does not consider any of them so far astray as to mar the general value of its conclusions. As to the character of the transla- tion, he may have committed errors through haste, for which he will ask pardon; but as to the general plan and style in which the work has been completed, those who know what is proper in the translation of languages will see that they are correct; as to the opinion of others he is not anxious. He will add one remark, and only one, and that is, that he has endeavored to confine his work to spare intervals, and that it has not encroached seriously upon consecrated time. * The work was first published in 185a.

On Thursday, the 20th of December, 1848, the Constit- uent Assembly was in session, surrounded at the moment by an imposing array of troops. A report of the representative Waldeck Rousseau, made in the name of the committee charged with giving an ab- stract of the vote for the election to the presidency of the Republic, had just been read. In that report one remarked this phrase, which summed up all its meaning : ''It is the seal of the inviolable power of the nation, that by this per- fect execution given to the fundamental law, she plants herself on the Constitution, in order to render it holy and inviolable." Following this, in the midst of the profound silence of nine hundred constituents, assembled in a mass and almost to the entire number of the body, Armand Marrast, the President of the National Constituent Assembly, arose and said : " In the name of the French people : " Seeing that the citizen Charles-Louis-Napoleon-Bona- Downloaded from https://www.holybooks.com — lo Napoleon the Little, parte, born in Paris, fulfills the conditions of eligibility article Constitution prescribed by the 44th of the ; "Seeing that in the open ballot held throughout the entire extent of this territory of the Republic, for the elec- tion of the President, he has united the absolute majority of suffrages ; "In virtue of the 47th and 48th articles of the Consti- tution, the National Assembly proclaims him President of the Republic, from the present day till the second Sunday of May, 1852." A movement was seen on the benches and in the tribunes, which were full of people. The President of the Constitu- ent Assembly added : "According to the terms of the decree, I invite the citizen President of the Republic to be pleased to present himself at the tribune, there to make oath." The representatives, who were encumbering the lobby, went up to their places and left the passage free. It was about four o'clock in the evening, night was falling, and the vast hall of the Assembly was half plunged in shadow. The lights descended from the ceilings, and the attendants had just placed the lamps upon the tribune. The President made a sign, and the door at the right opened. A man, still young, dressed in black, having on his coat the badge and the great cord of the Legion of Honor, was then seen to enter the hall and rapidly ascend the tribune. Every face turned toward the man. A wan face, whose thin and bony angles the lamps from the skylight made peculiarly distinct ; a nose thick and long ; mustaches ; a lock of hair curled on a narrow fore- head ; the eye small and without clearness ; the attitude Downloaded from https://www.holybooks.com 1 Napoleon the Little.

Long Live the Revolutions: Fighting for France's Political Future in the Long Wake of the Commune, 1871-1880 Abstract The traumatic legacies of the Paris Commune and its harsh suppression in 1871 had a significant impact on the identities and voter outreach efforts of each of the chief political blocs of the 1870s. The political and cultural developments of this phenomenal decade, which is frequently mislabeled as calm and stable, established the Republic's longevity and set its character. Yet the Commune's legacies have never been comprehensively examined in a way that synthesizes their political and cultural effects. This dissertation offers a compelling perspective of the 1870s through qualitative and quantitative analyses of the influence of these legacies, using sources as diverse as parliamentary debates, visual media, and scribbled sedition on city walls, to explicate the decade's most important political and cultural moments, their origins, and their impact.

    Wellington's Army 1809-1814

    Wellington's Army 1809-1814 by C.W.C. OMAN M.A. OXON, HON, LL.D EDIN PROFESOR OF MODERN HISTORY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD with illustrations second impression London Edward Arnold 1913 Digitized for Microsoft Corporation by the Internet Archive in 2007, from a University of Toronto copy. PREFACE MUCH has been written concerning Wellington and his famous Peninsular Army in the way of formal history : this volume, however, will I think contain somewhat that is new to most stu- dents concerning its organization, its day by day life, and its psychology. To understand the ex- ploits of Wellington's men, it does not suffice to read a mere chronicle of their marches and battles. I have endeavoured to collect in these pages notices of those aspects of their life with which no strategical or tactical work can deal, though tactics and even strategy will not be found unnoticed. My special thanks are due to my friend Mr. C. T. Atkinson, Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford, for allowing me to use the admirable list of the bri- gade and divisional organization of the Peninsu- lar Army which forms Appendix II. It is largely expanded from the article on the same topic which he printed eight years ago in the Historical Review, and enables the reader to find out the precise composition of every one of Wellington's units at any moment between April, 1808 and April, 1814. I have also to express my gratitude to the Hon. John Fortescue, the author of the great History of the British Army, for answering a good many queries which I should have found hard to solve without his aid.

Reid © 2015 Lindsay Ayling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Lindsay Ayling: State Power, Popular Resistance, and Competing Nationalist Narratives in France, 1791-1871 (Under the direction of Lloyd S. Kramer) In this thesis, I analyze rhetoric surrounding three events in which violence erupted between the French authorities and the French “people”: the Champ de Mars massacre of 1791, the June Days revolt of 1848, and the Paris Commune of 1871. Studying newspapers, speeches, images, memoirs, and literature, I argue that in producing competing narratives surrounding these events, politicians and polemicists also shaped competing conceptions of the French nation. In order to justify a given position, they associated either “the people” or the military with French symbols, values, and ideals while presenting their opponents as the national enemy. With each subsequent civil struggle, they appropriated and altered previous narratives, thereby constructing evolving but still irreconcilable versions of the nation. I conclude that because nationalism fractures on ideological lines, it is impossible

It is not a study of the Negro in the French colonies or of colonial conditions, for that is a different story. Occasion­ ally, however, reference to colonial happenings is brought in as necessary to set forth the background. The author has tried assiduously to restrict his attention to those of whose Negroid blood he could be certain, but whenever the distinction has been significant, he has considered as mulattoes all those having any mixture of Negro and white blood.

THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY Jttfi4 1970 PREFACE This paper attempts to analyze the discussions of the Council of State during the absolutist regime of Ferdinand VII, from 1814 to 1820. More particularly, it examines the debates and the ensuing policy recommendations relating to the independence move­ ments in Spanish America. Secretaries with portfolio, ex-officeholders, presidents of the different councils, and personages selected by the king consti­ tuted the Council of State. The counsellors discussed a wide range of subjects; that these were not limited in scope served to differ­ entiate them from the discussions of the Council of the Indies, the Council of War, and other advisory bodies. In addition, the king attended most of the meetings and a scribe kept minutes of the deliberations. Before presenting their proposals on America to the king, the counsellors considered the national as well as the international implications of their recommendations. Because of possible reper­ cussions, they recommended that the government pursue a policy which was founded on the formula of an iron hand in a velvet glove.

BOX 218 MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA 94042-0218 http://www.slp.org/nyln.htm ILLUSTRATIONS Louis Bonaparte was mercilessly satirized in cartoons and caricatures until the coup. The iron censorship he imposed thereafter put a temporary halt to the lampooning in France. However, the European cartoonists outside France took up where their French colleagues had been compelled to leave off. The greatest pen and pencil artists of France had meanwhile succeeded in recording the corruption and scoundrelism of the little man who, through the magic of the name Napoleon, had managed for a time to follow in his uncle’s footsteps. These great artists, true social satirists of the highest order, included such outstanding men as Honore Daumier (born 1808), Andre Gill (Gosset de Guines, born 1840), Gavarni (Guillaume Sulpice Chevalier, born 1804), Grandville, Bertall, Faustin and many others. Daumier was the greatest of these—an immortal among artists and social satirists.
