General History of Civilisation in Europe, From the Fall of the Roman Empire Till the French Revolution. A Treatise on Death Punishments.
Guizot, François
Europe -- Civilization
Thus deprived of all official income, he was reduced once more to
his pen to eke out a subsistence. With a hearty good-will, and a
noble spirit of independence, he turned again to his literary
labours, which he prosecuted during the ten years from 1820 to
1830 with unexampled diligence, and soon fixed on himself the
attention and admiration of his countrymen. It will be sufficient
to enumerate his principal publications during this important era
of his life.
1. A Collection of Memoirs relative to the English Revolution,
with Historical Notes and Explanations, 25 vols. 8vo; followed
by a History of the English Revolution in 2 vols. 8vo, which
has not yet been completed according to the authors original
intentions.
2. A Collection of Memoirs relative to the History of France
from the Foundation of the Monarchy to the Thirteenth Century,
with an Introduction, Supplement, Notices, and Notes, 29 vols.
8vo.
3. A new edition of Rollin and Letourneur's Translation of
Shakespeare, with great Amendments, and illustrated by Critical
Notes and Historical Notices.

4. The 'Revue Française,' a periodical established by him during
this period, may be accounted in the number of his works,
together with the principal articles in the journal called the
'Globe.'
In the execution of all these labours he was constantly assisted
by his wife, who sat in the same room with him in which he
carried on his literary operations, attended by her two nieces,
and surrounded by a number of young men, who acted in various
capacities as copyists, arrangers, and amanuenses: the whole
group presenting a picture of silent activity and resolute
industry the most interesting that can be conceived.
