I have tried to indicate at what time, in what place, and forwhat reason they came into existence I have sought to distinguishwhat originated in France from that which has been added to itthrough imitation or the influence of foreign lands. I hope by thismeans to succeed in disentangling what may be called the nativetradition, and separating it from extraneous importations.If I had ventured to follow my own feelings, I should have takenas my title CA Sincere History of the French Nation', thus empha-sizing the spirit in which I have worked. Those historians of thefirst two-thirds of the nineteenth century to whom is due the forma-tion of French history as taught in the schools and familiar to thecultured public have distorted its perspective in two respects.In the first place, the records which they used all came from menbelonging to the privileged classes - ecclesiastics, lawyers, andfighting-men, who took little interest in the mass of the populationbeneath them and had little knowledge or understanding of itsconditions of life. Almost all these men were in personal relationwith the official authorities, the clergy, the Crown, the Parle-ments, and the great nobles, and unconsciously tended to exagger-ate the part played by the great - their virtues, their intelligence,and, consequently, the efficacy of what they decreed for the reallife of the nation.
