About this book
The French Revolution is by Charles Edward Mallet and carries the series heading University Extension Manuals, edited by Professor Knight. The general plan of the series says the series is primarily designed to aid the University Extension Movement throughout Great Britain and America, and to supply the need so widely felt by students of text-books for study and reference. The plan adds that the manuals are not intended for purposes of elementary education, but for students who have made some advance in the subjects dealt with.
The text says a new system of administration had gradually grown up and usurped all real authority in France, with the King's Council, centred at Versailles, at its head. The text says that Barnave, Malouet and a few other members of the majority did make an attempt to organise their party, and that slowly but steadily Robespierre's influence reasserted itself in the Assembly. A dated list of events gives, among others, the arrest of Billaud-Varennes, Collot d'Herbois, Barère and Vadier decreed by the Convention, bread riots and an attack on the Convention, and the Treaty of Bâle between France and Prussia.
