Excerpt from The Works of G. P. R James, Esq., Vol. 2: Revised Corrected by the Author, With an Introductory Preface, Mary of Burgundy The following pages were written at a period when Europe had just been agitated by a new revolution in a country already remarkable in history for one of the most tremendous social convulsions which ever shook down old and decaying institutions, to make room for others better adapted to the age. Earthquakes, however, seldom pass away with only one shock, and the milder and more beneficent revolution which occurred in France in the year 1830 was perhaps but a natural consequence of that which went before. Nevertheless, the expulsion of the Bourbon dynasty, and the fears and apprehensions of a new period of anarchy which it spread throughout Europe, naturally turned my thoughts to the consideration of other great popular movements mentioned in history.
