Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2 There is, indeed, no better preface from a purely lit crary, or, shall we Say, from a purely dramatic point of view, to the French Revolution than that wonderful posthumous piece of fiction which La Harpe wrote under the guise of fact, and on which sainte-beuve rightly bases La Harpe's claim to remembrance. Taine places it at the end of his study of the Old Order; it might more appropriately begin a record of the French Revolution. Let the first lieutenant of Voltaire Speak for himself.
