| Summary | "The French Revolution of 1789, as Viewed in the Light of Republican Institutions" by John S. C. Abbott is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the intricate causes and events surrounding the French Revolution, examining them through a republican lens. Abbott aims to provide an elaborate interpretation of the struggle of the French people against feudal despotism and their quest for political and religious liberty. The opening of the book outlines Abbott's intentions and preparations for this historical narrative. He describes his travels to Paris to gather firsthand accounts of the revolution and the philosophical writings that preceded it. Abbott discusses the biases inherent in historical storytelling, highlighting that the view of the revolution's events can differ drastically based on the observer's political principles. He emphasizes that understanding the revolution requires a comprehensive view of the social and political conditions that led to it, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of the events that would unfold throughout the book.
