Excerpt from French Revolution in 1848: The Three Days of February, 1848, With Sketches of Lamartine, Guizot, Etc It is impossible lo understand the events which have just occurred in Paris, without inquiring, however briefly, into the causes which brought about so momentous a change - a change to all, unexpected, astounding, save those who studied the French people themselves! It appeared to every casual observer, on Monday, the 21st of February, that there existed in Europe a powerful kingdom called France. Its monarch, surrounded by a handsome and numerous family, supported by a vast army, by all but an unanimous Chamber of Deputies, with a House of Peers devoted to his person, with an electoral body, an immense majority of whom were enthusiastic adherents to the dynasty and its system, with an overwhelming force of friends among the monied classes, seemed to be placed beyond the reach of accident.
