Excerpt from Europe 1789-1920The author has attempted to write an account of Europe since the French Revolution. The past few years have added much and brought considerable alteration in perspective.To people now living the epoch since 1789 is the most important and interesting in the history of mankind. It began with a revolution whose effects are not yet all measured; it ended with another whose consequences can scarcely yet even be guessed at. It was ushered in and completed by devastating wars which altered and may alter Europe for many generations. It was a period of mournful failures and mistakes, but it witnessed more progress than any epoch preceding. It was a period when for the first time the mass of the people got education, and some political power - which still they are learning to use. In the latter part of the period, amidst the infinite complexity of modern life, there was slowly unfolded a mighty sequence of things, ever more ominous and dreadful, like the prologue to some ancient tragedy, or music which forebodes doom approaching, until at last a catastrophe came which threatened to engulf civilization. As this book begins at the end of an old era, so it concludes with the ending of an era which already begins to seem old.The work has been partly a labor of love, based on studies undertaken for their own sake, then elaborated in the teaching of some years. My obligations to others are numerous and very great; but not a few of the conclusions are based upon study and observation in Europe.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
