Description:Excerpt from Republican France 1870-1912: Her Presidents, Statesmen, Policy, Vicissitudes and Social Life This work is an attempt to tell the story of the present French Republic from its foundation onward, and, in particular, to recount the careers of its most eminent public men. For well nigh fifty years I have been much attached to France and her people. I was taken to France in my boyhood, I found there my home and my alma mater, I loved and married there, and it was there too that I formed some of the firmest friendships of my life. But remembering that it is incumbent on any writer who attempts to recount some period of a nation's life, to tell the whole truth, as far as he can ascertain it, and that no useful purpose is ever served by shirking unpleasant facts, I have not penned in the following pages any panegyric of France and the French. I have certainly tried to show the nation rising from the depths of disaster, gathering fresh strength, and again taking the position due to it by right of its genius. I have also tried to show the Republican idea - limited, at first, to a portion of the population, - spreading gradually through the country, and developing into something far beyond what several of the most prominent founders of the regime would have thought either likely or advisable. Again, I have striven to depict that regime resisting every assault, triumphing over every enemy, and demonstrating, by its stability, the existence of far greater stability of character among the nation than the latter had been credited with for many years. But if I have spoken of progress made, of great achievements accomplished, I have not hesitated to chronicle faults wherever I have found them.
