Features: The lectures in this book were delivered by Sir Acton as the Professor of Modern History at the University of Cambridge during the academic years 1895-1896, 1896-1897, 1897-1898, and 1898-1899. The French Revolution of 1789-1795 was one of the special subjects for the Historical Tripos examination at Cambridge University at that time, which determined the scope of these courses. Discussions on the literature of the Revolution were usually conducted in a conversational class or delivered as separate lectures. Some related essays were also compiled as appendices. The titles of each lecture were proposed by the editor.
