Mallet Du Pan And The French Revolution

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Mallet Du Pan and the French Revolution: With Frontpiece Neither the natural interest nor the possession of literary materials which I have inherited as a great grandson of Mallet du Pan would have justified me in undertaking an account of his career for English readers if that career had been destitute of historical impor tance, or if any such account had been in existence which was complete and at the same time accessible. On both these grounds, however, some justification for the present attempt may, I think, be pleaded. It will be sufficient, in this place, to refer to the emphatic testimony of authorities like Carlyle, sainte-beuve and Taine to the position of this once celebrated political writer as a pioneer of modern journalism, as a champion of constitutional Monarchy in the Revolution, as a confidential adviser of Louis XVI. And of the Allied Courts; and a few words only will be needed to explain, with the assistance of the appended list of sources of information, how matters stand with regard to existing publications.
