Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 1 of 3: A History in Three Parts I. The Bastille; II. The Constitution; III. The Guillotine I Have been very largely indebted to the work and the personal kindness of friends in the compilation of this edition of Carlyle's French Revolution, particularly, however, to Mr. C. T. Atkinson, Fellow of Exeter College, who has contributed three invaluable appendices; to Mr. J. R. Moreton Macdonald, of Largie, who has contributed one appendix and revised all my notes; to Miss Eleanor Lodge, who assisted in the verification of the early references; to Mrs. Ellen Salmon, who not only opened the doors of the British Museum to me, but who has also carefully watched over the production of the whole book with the most motherly tenderness; most of all, however, to Professor Lodge, of Edinburgh University, who has contributed the most laborious of the appendices, and pointed out many errors in the notes; and to my Father, whose faultless taste in style, and whose natural literary instinct have made him my wisest critic. I send forth the book with much tremor as to the judgments likely to be passed upon the accents, the spelling, the punctuation and the omissions.
