The best History of France is undoubtedly that of the learned Sismondi, who diligently studied all the Original Sources, and guided by a sound critical judgment, and by liberal political views, produced a work which supersedes all other rivals. Sismondi's style is noble and vivid: he gives life to every character he describes.

Many pages of Sismondi illustrate English History, and of all the French Historians he is the most honest and candid with regard to this country.
