Excerpt from Men and Women of the French RevolutionSo much for the text of this book. However worthy or worthless, I confess gladly that it does not compare in interest with the illustrations. They are the excuse and the value of the volume. These contemporary French prints, mostly reproduced for the first time in this country, are surpassingly interesting, and to Mr. Joseph Grego, who, for the purpose of this book, so kindly lent the originals from his wonderful collection, of which those now published form but a small part, my warmest thanks are here recorded.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
