PREFATORY NOTE

The following Lectures were delivered by Lord Acton as Regius
Professor of Modern History at Cambridge in the academic years
1895-96, 1896-97, 1897-98, 1898-99. The French Revolution, 1789-95,
was in those years one of the special subjects set for the Historical
Tripos and this determined the scope of the course. In addition, some
discussion of the literature of the Revolution generally took place
either in a conversation class or as an additional lecture. Such
connected fragments of these as remain have been printed as an
appendix. For the titles of the Lectures, the editors are responsible.
