	List of historians of the French Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A simplified description of the liberal approach to the Revolution was typically to support the achievements of the constitutional monarchy of the National Assembly but disown the later actions of radical violence like the invasion of the Tuilieres and the Terror.
		Pierre Gaxotte - Royalist: The French Revolution (1928)
		Perhaps one of the most respected historians of the Revolution is the Francophile Englishman Richard Cobb, who has produced a number of immensely detailed studies of both provincial and city life, avoiding the revisionism debate by "keeping his nose very close to the ground".

	French Revolution - Search View - MSN Encarta
		The effects of the French Revolution were widespread, both inside and outside of France, and the Revolution ranks as one of the most important events in the history of Europe.
		Certain defenders of the Revolution have argued that the Reign of Terror was, under the circumstances, a reasonable response to the military crisis of 1793.
		Some historians have suggested that what the revolutionaries’ liberty meant in practice was violence and a loss of personal security that pointed to the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century.

	historian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		While historian was used as the slang term for a secret policeman in Yugoslavia under Tito, the term is now often reserved for people whose work is recognized in academia, particularly those who have acquired graduate degrees in the discipline.
		The modern role of the historian (and the discipline of history) is a somewhat recent construction.
		This meant that the works of these historians openly mixed oratory, poetry and literature in a way which is incompatible with the contemporary concern for impartiality and objectivity.

	10th of August (French Revolution) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On August 10, 1792, during the French Revolution, a mob — with the backing of a new municipal government of Paris that came to be known as the "insurrectionary" Paris Commune — besieged the Tuileries palace.
		This insurrection and its outcome are most commonly referred to by historians of the Revolution simply as "the 10th of August"; other common designations include "the journée of the 10th of August" (French: journée du 10 août), "the insurrection of the 10th of August", or even "the revolution of the 10th of August".
		The ruling spirit of this new revolution was Danton, a barrister only thirty-two years old, who had not sat in either Assembly, although he had been the leader of the Cordeliers, an advanced republican club, and had a strong hold on the common people of Paris.

	The French Revolution
		The internationalist spirit of the Revolution was expressed in the December Resolution of the National Assembly that declared that in any territory occupied by the armies of the Revolution, feudal obligations would be abolished and the property of the Church and aristocrats confiscated.
		The French Revolution was a bourgeois revolution, and it would be entirely mistaken to attempt to draw exact parallels between the processes involved and the movement of the modern proletariat.
		Historians have evolved a whole mythology, vaunting the alleged achievements of the parliamentary "leaders" of the Third Estate, who on 17 June took the title of the National Assembly and three days later, in the famous "tennis court oath", swore not to disband until a constitution was granted.

	The Great French Revolution
		The historic legend is lovingly used to embellish this night, and the majority of historians, copying the story as it has been given by a few contemporaries, represent it as a night full of enthusiasm and saintly abnegation.
		Ever since July 14, the spirit of the Revolution, born of the ferment which was working through the whole of France, was hovering over everything that lived and felt, and this spirit, created by millions of wills, gave the inspiration that we lack in ordinary times.
		Liberal historians have passed this by in silence, but it is a fact of the highest importance for the comprehension of the history of the next few years.

	H-Net Review: Ronald Schechter on The French Revolutionary Wars: 1787-1802
		Blanning begins by arguing that French defeat in the Seven Years' War (1756-63) stimulated reforms in the army which are normally associated with the Revolution: the breaking up of armies into smaller, more flexible divisions; the use of columns in addition to lines; an increasing reliance on light troops; and the use of artillery.
		Historians primarily concerned with causation are inevitably forced to steer between the Scylla of reductionism and the Charybdis of overdetermination.

	French Volunteers in the American Revolution
		While many historians may dismiss such a direct link in the motivating factors behind these two late eighteenth-century revolutions, the evidence of such feelings being expressed by one of the participants in both upheavals is interesting.

	Portrayal of the Essence of the French Revolution
		It also set a new standard for change among the countries of the world, where revolutions of the past have been relatively innocuous in that the methods of bringing about the desired change have been slower and less tumultuous than those applied in the French Revolution.
		The French Revolution (Carlyle) is a somewhat shallow (yet unique) contribution to the literature on the revolution.
		Additionally, these emotions (nobility especially) are tied into the revolution, so that it is the revolution, and not just the characters thereof, that is alive in the mind of the reader (though not to any great extent; the revolution functions as the backdrop, and not the foreground, of the book).

		Outside of her work, her life was to be dominated by the turmoil of the French Revolution.
		Historians suspect that, in the past, Gauss had tried and failed to make any impact on the problem, and his response to Olbers was merely a case of intellectual sour grapes.
		Her colleagues examined her list of primes one by one, trying to prove that x, y, or z could not be a multiple of n, therefore showing that for that particular value of n there could be no solutions.
