Despite its conjectural side, history has not been free from this universal
revision. There is no longer a single one of its phases of which we can say
that it is certainly known. What appeared to be definitely acquired is now
once more put in question.
Among the events whose study seemed completed was the French Revolution.
Analysed by several generations of writers, one might suppose it to be
perfectly elucidated. What new thing can be said of it, except in modification
of some of its details? And yet its most positive defenders are beginning to
hesitate in their judgments. Ancient evidence proves to be far from
impeccable. The faith in dogmas once held sacred is shaken. The latest
literature of the Revolution betrays these uncertainties. Having related, men
are more and more chary of drawing conclusions. Not only are the heroes of
this great drama discussed without indulgence, but thinkers are asking whether
the new dispensation which followed the ancien regime would not have
established itself naturally, without violence, in the course of progressive
civilisation. The results obtained no longer seem in correspondence either
with their immediate cost or with the remoter consequences which the
Revolution evoked from the possibilities of history.
