Excerpt from Paris in '48: Letters From a Resident Describing the Events of the Revolution IT is not with impunity that a nation learns such a lesson of blood and crime as that of '9 3. The virus must work in her for long after, ready to burst out at any time of disturbance. This comment of M. P. De Coubertin, in his lucid presentation of the course of events in France since 1814, may serve as a preface to Madame Bonde's graphic and searching description of the crisis in 1848. By way of introduction to her letters, it is sufficient to trace very brie¿y the steps by which the French nation, after sweeping away the' ancien régime, ' began slowly to build up its civil and political liberties.
