Review of Von Sybel’s History of the French Revolution
A measured critique praising Von Sybel’s work for its sober narrative and detailed handling of domestic and foreign affairs. The reviewer notes strong anti gallican and anti democratic bias, with balanced judgments on the Girondists Danton and the revolutionaries, while acknowledging heavy portions and the author’s conservative stance. The piece concludes that the history stands as an indispensable, highly careful reference on Paris intrigues and international politics of the era.
