It began at Valmy, and did not end until Waterloo. United Europe ended up triumphing over the French armies; however, we cannot say that France emerged from the struggle defeated. It had undertaken to defend its national independence, the integrity of its territory, the reforms which it had accomplished in its laws and in its political constitution. Peace cost it only the restitution of the territories it had conquered; it returned to its old limits: the body of the nation was not damaged. The essential results of the French Revolution remained: France retained the Civil Code and representative government....The French and the other peoples of Europe thus interpreted the principles of the Revolution, and adapted them to the traditions of their past...this revolution had no consequences, even the most singular, which did not follow from this history and could not be explained by the precedents of the \u003ci\u003eancien régime\u003c\/i\u003e.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first and only complete translation of Sorel into English.
