Abstract

Any discussion of Lamartine as an historian necessitates a study of his political career. His "Histoire des Girondins" was the culmination of' his political career, it was the embodiment of the theories and principles which he had advocated all thru his speeches in Parliament. To understand these principles it is necessary to trace their growth from the time Lamartine entered politics. After tracing his political growth a discussion of the "Histoire des Girondins'' will show that its value lies not in its historical value but in the influence it had on the people of France.
