Excerpt from Ten Frenchmen of the Nineteenth Century The achievements of the nineteenth century were the carrying out of the ideas of the eighteenth. Before the French Revolution men theorized; after it they employed themselves in turning the theories into facts. Science left the study for the shop; steam and electricity were put to practical uses; chemistry became a handmaid to industry; while physiology created medicine anew. Likewise in public affairs. The application of the social views of philosophers and essayists transformed governments, changed constitutions, created states. The French Revolution and France In no country of Christendom were these results so evident as in France. By the temperament of its people France is subject to violent changes. Other nations yield to the invasion of new ideas gradually, peacefully. In France devotion to tradition and custom is so strong in all matters of private or public import that the forms of the past continue to stand after their content is exhausted. They must be broken by the impact of other forms of new and vigorous content. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"Sixty Million Frenchmen does its job marvelously well. After reading it, you may still think the French are arrogant, aloof, and high-handed, but you will know why." --Wall Street Journal
