Excerpt from Lectures, Vol. 1 of 2: On the History of France
I found therefore, that, in order to teach the History of France, I must begin by drawing up an introduction to it with the omission of the whole subject of the feudal system on which Mr. Hallam had left me nothing material to say. I sought, however, diligently at Paris, during a residence of several months there, for any book, a translation of which might relieve me from the labour of composing, and from the risk of publishing, such an introduction. Finding no such book, I performed that labour, as I now incur that risk.
