As long as that period of French history from
the rise of Voltaire to ..he fall of Napoleon re?
tains for nianklnrl the Interest which it has
held now for more than a century, these two
great works (which are r?ally one) of If, Thiers
will continue to be the first and the last resort
of the scholar who looks for a dlspasslonste nar?
rativo, in wblcb general vleara are sustained by
the utmost minuteness of detail. The author ,
pianned his history on lines estensive enough
to embody even trivial facts without enhancing
their Importance or marring th-? perspective In
which the gieater facts must be viewed. He
could paraphrase a whole speech of l'Ut or
^lirabeau, if the speech was one thai fave a
new turn to events, or even if it gave them a
cjlor which they arere not likely ?,? wear with?
out it. And he did not have to Invent bis para?
phrases, as ThucyJuU's ?lid, ?nul to make them
lit the time ani the character?a practice in
which the Athenian writer resembled the his- '
torical novelist rather than the modern his?
torian. I'.y the time ol th-? French Revolution
th?? world had taken t?, heart a lesson which
had been onjy partially learned by ?;.,?? ages,
even tinse that had el ipsed I nee the invention
of printing. The i. seos, was t h ; ?. t affairs must be ?
a matter of record and ? ?: a matter of opini ?,
hearsay and tradition. The methods of procur?
ing, preserving and publishing such ree .ri- then
develope'ii enormously, and it is only the vastly
greater Improvement in such matters In the pr?s
Salt age that has <>bs "and the chanj*,? Which came i
over civilization toward the close of the
eighteenth century. In publications, in archives, ?
in memoirs. Thiers had tbe material necessary
for a study of events which has never been chai- ',
lenged since, except In details. Net that th?
countless publications of recent years aie to be !
neglected. They correct in places moat unex- j
pected the earlier narrative of Thiers, and yet !
every one who has read his work, and subse?
quently the memoirs of Marbot and Pasquier, by
all odds the best of the number, can testify that
the modifications do not relate to th? main fact??
cf the history. They correct details to which the
authors of the memoirs were eye-witnesses, or
for which they had the evidence ol eye-witnesses.
In the matter of public records, Thli ra can rare'.y
be corrected, even with the more indulgent meth?
ods toward Investigators of the present day.
It Is a mistake to be led Into enthusiasm over
sudden discoveries that change th- aspect ? (
eom? partie alar chapter in hist wry. The question
for mature consideration is whether G ?: ? these
novelties affect the general drift of the narra- ?
tive. If. for ex.'.rr.plr?. Thi? rs knew, as he did '
know, that Napoleon's inactivity after the battle I
of Dresden and his failure to SUpp r; and :
Yandamme were due-1'> a severe Indigestion, that j
Is enough, with ut the niinutla?? which thi Be who
were near the Emperor could have furnlahed. j
The main point was thai he fa ted. If he fa
that he was ? liao .? I, his Imagination played him :
a bad trick, but his breakd ?wn al a crltl al mo
ment was not ezcus ? by an err ,r respecting the
cause. He broke down and became useless as a
commander before he had time to lind out what
his Imagination had to say on the BUbJect The
thing wears a Blight ly different aapect in thla
particular case, if Thlers'i .. ? lute ? .1 of Ma
poleon's alleged Indisposition is weighed against
the circumstantial narratives that navi I
made public sin e his ti:n??. particularly thai of :
Pasftuler. But It la possible that some ? lever bits
of writing will have to be cancelled In Thlenfa
work In the Unlit of later disclosures. The most
remarkable example of thll sor! Is his sc p
of the storming of the Bastile. PasojUier was an
eye-witness of that affair. a;id lus evi lenes, now
made public In his memolra, shows tnat the high?
ly colored statements upon which Thiers based
his version of the affair were incorrect. There
could have been no resistance to the attacking
party, pays FeSQUter In effect, bacanas there was
no garrison. This was a fact which should nave
been obvious at the moment of the surrender of
the ancient fortr?ss. Bui those who were beni
on Justifying the m.?b easily explained that the
efficient portion of the garrison had escaped,
leaving the Invalids under command of the un?
fortunate De Launay to the fury of the popu?
lace. But these vanished treiops never existed.
One might almost Infer this from the lack <.f
circumstance in Thlers's own narrative at this
point. He alluds to a fire of grape-sh.?t from
the Bastile, Which, it season, was delivered only
in the imagination of certain writers of the time,
end then, after a sentence or two about the sin
render of De Launay, adds: "The Swiss found
means to es^ap?." How or when?, ?t would puzzl
the most acute student of the plan of the fortress
to ?ay. But In this vague sentence is comprised
the substance of a myth which exalted the de?
struction of the Bastile Into an episode of hero?
ism, and gave Carlyle a pretext for some of his
most lurid apostrophes. It must be observed that
beneath all this the only Significant fa"ts bear?
ing on history were beyond dispute, such as the
destruction of the prison its'-lf and the murder of
De Launay. It will be found throughout Thlers's
great work that nothing escaped him which could
be stated correctly in his time. Where be errs,
his general statements are not vitiated, nor his
conclusions disturbed, for these MS based on a
multitude of testimonies existing in writing. His
extraordinary devoti,m left untouched nothing re?
lating to his thr-tne that was accessible to him.
He came to h!? task with very ?G'??? e inceptions
of the historian's duty. 11?? felt that he must
make himself certain of every fact which formed
part of his narrative. His proofs were gathered
With unremitting t .il. ani when h" was forced
back upon conjecture he writ?, as he said, ac?
cording to his innermfist conviction, and with eon
atant fear before his eyes of a self-deception that
?would lead him to deceive other* Th" ? imposi?
tion of his work was the smallest part of his task.
"I have at times." he said, "devoted a whole
year to the preparation of a volume which has
taken me but a couple of months to write." This
preparation, to which he alludes. Involved the
collection of all those details which he consider? d
Indispensable for Impressing the main fa'*ts In all
their magnitude upon the mind of the reader. By
way of Illustration, he cited In particular the
passage of the French army over the St. Bernard,
and contrasted the two divergent methods likely
to be adopted in describing a wonderful military
achievement. Mere ecstasies about the passage
of the Alps and piling up words to indicate the
difficulties of the way he deemed puerile. "The
one legitimate, earnest manner In which to ex?
cite Interest and admiration alike," he added, "Is
to observe an exact and complete statement of
things as they occurred. The distance to go In
crossing such and such mountains, the number
,Of cannon and the quantity of stores which had
to be transported along unbeaten roads, up pro?
digious heights, along terrific precipices where
animals were useless, and where man alone could
preserve his courage and will; to relate all this
simply, giving all necessary particulars, weeding
out unimportant details?this, to my mind, is the
proper way to describe an undertaking such as
the passage of the St. Bernard." This conscien?
tious method explains the voluminous character
Of his work. It corresponds also to his literary
manner. He is rarely overbalanced by his theme.
Exclamations and apostrophes are not much to j
fais taate. Hla narrative Howe forward steadily, '
Calmly, strongly. Soon the reader forgets the
I matter of style altogether. The .author has gently
drawn him away from all external consideratili:*
to th? inner meaning of event?. Clearness of ex
preasion helps on to this restili, ani this hits not
been- gained without consdotu purpose. In lead.
if his achievement did hot sustain him. he would
s. :n arrogant In his discussion of style In his?
toric writing where he says that Its merit Is one
?jf ab. oute transparency. "Ti he simple. In cd.
accurate, easy, elevated, at times when the great
Interests of humanity are In question, is what is
required, and I am convinced that the choicest,
most, carefully thought-out veras ?lues not giv?
more food for study than a simple phrase in his?
tory designed to convey some technical detail
without b?>ing colloquiai or commonplace."
His career as a statesman mad" him desirous
n<a to underestimate the actors In the great
drama which he endeavored to place before his
readers. At the same time It constrained his
Judgment. He had himself felt public criticism
and cmilil estimate its Justice or Injustice where
others were concerned. The vicissitudes through
which Prance passed In his own time from roy?
alty to republicanism and tin:i t.? imperi illsm
wen? not without their effect in giving m .d ?ra?
tion snd an Sir Of impartiality to his inter?
pretation of the acts of those who had shared In
the more rapid and violent change? of an earlier
time. If he was partisan, i: was rather in behalf
of his personal view? than on the st'le of any
i. 'ognlxt d faction. Napoleon waa not to blm a
hero to whom homage and h image alone was
due, hut a man of genius, t> whom clrcum
ataneea give the opportunity of creating a new
??, and then of destroying himself. It is.
perhaps, a pardonable vanity which !??.? is him
to >a> that at the dose of hi? historical labor?
he cherished ;h?? same opinion of th<? great Em
? r which had risen in his mind from the mo
men! when h?? began ? ? thtnk. Such consistency
is rare Thiers himself fancied that it might
bring upon him the accusation that he was th ?
victim of a life-long prejudice. But '?* Is ?
likely as the ages pasa to fix upm him a charge
or artificiality. HI? unity of view set ? ?
limes to be forcibly and mechanically obtalm l.
But with all that haa been written up mi hie I
theme since his time?and. Indeed, In order to
understand thla late ma?? of historical material '.
-he must still he read. The translation In hand
is one that had his own appi'..val. It has borne
the test of years, and the new edition could
bardi) be more attractive In appearance than it
Is, it could have been mad?? more useful by m id?
em additions to the note? upon points, especially
when Investigation or newly discovered evidence '
has corrected the historian.
