Excerpt from Landmarks of History, Vol. 3 of 3: Modern History; From the Reformation to the Fall of Napoleon
The Landmarks of History have now been brought down as nearly to our own times as could be accomplished without entering too much on contemporary history. Napoleons death appears the fit close for the last act of the great drama of the Revolution; and the scenes which fall within our own memory and observation, have not yet developed their import, so as to enable us to judge of their true meaning and tendency. In closing the task, perhaps too rashly undertaken, we have only to repeat, what has been before said, that this little book aims at no originality of views, nor at revelations of new facts.
