Excerpt from Episodes of the French Revolution From 1789 to 1795: With an Appendix Embodying the Principal Events in France From 1789 to the Present Time, From a Political and Philosophical Point of View I, therefore, beg my readers to bear in mind that, in undertaking this publication, I have not been guided by any desire to bring my name uselessly before the Public or to place myself In parallel with the distinguished histo rians who have already written on the same subject: if my work had no other merit than to repeat in a different phraseology what has already been said many thee by my Predecessors, it would not be worth the time which I have passed in writing it, nor the trouble of reading it My experience of literature has long convinced me that, when books have no other merit but to repeat what has already been said before, the best the reader can do is to throw them into the waste-basket.
