The Origins of Contemporary France
Volume 1 (of 6)

INTRODUCTION
6/18

He was considered some kind of positivist but he did not consider himself as belonging to any particular school.
The 6 volumes of "Les Origines de la France Contemporaine" appeared one after the other in Paris between 1875 and 1893.

They were translated into English and published in New York soon afterwards.

They were also translated into German.

Taine's direct views displeased many in France, as the Royalists, the bonapartist and the Socialists felt hurt.

Still, the first edition of Volume II of "LE REGIME MODERNE" published by Hachette in 1894 indicated that "L'ANCIEN REGIME" at that time had been printed in 18 editions, "LA REVOLUTION" volume I in 17 editions, volume II in 16 editions and volume III in 13 editions.
