“An interesting feature of the story is that which tells of the relation of France to the crusades. There is an extremely interesting account of life in France in the feudal ages. The story of the revolution is told rapidly, but with great brilliancy. As a single volume history of France this must take its place in the foremost rank.” E. J. C.
