which appeared in 1903. The work practically stops at the year 1789, with a short chapter on the publicists of the American and French Revolutions (vol. II, pp. 693-727); but there is a good analysis and résumé of the Declarations of the Rights of Man in France and America (Introduction to the third edition, vol. I, pp. v-lxxiii), and a brief Conclusion (vol. II, pp. 727-743) giving a meagre outline of French political thought in the nineteenth century and a scant note on the political literature of England and Germany of the same period. It is a pity that the author did not carry out his intention of publishing a third volume, during the years which intervened between the appearance of the third edition (1887) and the date of his death (1899), and bring his history down to the end of the nineteenth century. We have, however, a number of preliminary studies from his pen covering phases of the period in question, among them the following: La philosophie de la révolution française, 1875, Histoire de la révolution française, 1889, Les origines du socialisme contemporain, 1883, Saint-Simon et le Saint-Simonisme, 1878, Babeuf, the article Tocqueville in Problèmes du xix siècle, and two articles in Revue des Deux Mondes: Charles Fournier, 1879, and Introduction à la science morale d'Herbert Spencer, 1875.
