Review of Von Sybel’s History of the Revolution and its sources
The article assesses Herr von Sybel’s multi volume history of the French Revolution, praising access to diplomatic papers and fairness while noting biases. It discusses France before the Revolution, the role of the privileged classes, land ownership, and the rise of a productive middle class, with critique of Necker and French state policy. It contrasts German impartiality with French zeal, and signals the need for future volumes to cover foreign policy.
