Robespierre
First published in 1935, this is widely regarded as the most definitive and comprehensive biography of Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre (1758-1794), the French lawyer and politician who would become one of the best-known and most influential figures associated with the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. As a member of the Estates-General, the Constituent Assembly and the Jacobin Club, Robespierre was an outspoken advocate for the poor and for democratic institutions. He campaigned for universal male suffrage in France, price controls on basic food commodities and the abolition of slavery in the French colonies. He played an important role in arranging the execution o...
Leaders of the French Revolution
1789-1795 were years of revolutionary drama in France—of struggle protest, war-fever, exasperation, terror, ambition and bloodshed. Few of the many who are remembered from the time were great men, but they lived under the microscope of great times, which gave to their most insignificant qualities portentous proportions. Perhaps, too, their age and country encouraged variety and extravagance of character, few there are few periods of history so rich in personalities. Of the eleven men chosen by J. M. Thompson for study, only three (Sieyès, Lafayette and Dumouriez) survived the Revolution, and lived to see its cynical apotheosis in the Napoleonic Empire. Of the others, Mirabeau died in 1791 and Louvet in 1797, while the remainder—Brissot, Marat, Danton, Fabre, Robespierre and St. Just—were murdered, executed or put to death. J. M. Thompson writes in his introduction, ‘But to all of them the Revolution was an overwhelming experience. What did they do in it? What did they think of it? Let us see.’

Infrared Spectroscopy
It is estimated that there are about 10 million organic chemicals known, and about 100,000 new organic compounds are produced each year. Some of these new chemicals are made in the laboratory and some are isolated from natural products. The structural determination of these compounds is the job of the chemist. There are several instrumental techniques used to determine the structures of organic compounds. These include NMR, UV/visible, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. Of all the instrumental techniques listed, infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry are the two most popular techniques, mainly because they tend to be less expensive and give us the most ...

Napoleon Bonaparte
The sum of Napoleonic literature is so immense that it might be wondered whether there is any need for a new Life of Napoleon. But there has been no important life in English since that by J. Holland Rose, first published in 1901, and last reprinted in 1934. It is hoped that there will be a welcome for a fresh attempt to summarize the history and access the importance of the period 1794-1815. J. M. Thompson’s book, Napoleon Bonaparte: His Rise and Fall, which was first published in 1951, is a sequel to his French Revolution, published in 1944. Its subject is the French people in its post-revolutionary mood, as interpreted and exploited by a foreigner who was at once a professional soldier and an administrative genius. The main source of information is Napoleon’s own correspondence, of which Mr. Thompson published a selection, translated as Letters of Napoleon, in 1934. In this present volume, J. M. Thompson has attempted to tell the story of the rise and fall of a dictator, whilst simplifying the historical background by dealing in turn with each of Napoleon’s main spheres of interest: Corsica, Italy, Egypt, Germany, Russia, England.
Louis Napoleon and the Second Empire
An excellent one volume portrait of Napoleon III and the short-lived second French Empire which was brought to ruins by the 1870 Franco-Prussian war. “ONCE again J. M. Thompson has given us a colorful, arresting, and interpretative account of a period of French history—this time of the Second Empire. In this instance, as in previous works, the author makes the biography of a man (Louis Napoleon) the vehicle for a history of a period, thereby infusing the warmth of a very human personality throughout the history of a complex and fateful era. Thus we follow the life of a man who followed his star of fate from youthful refugee to insurrectionist, prisoner, president, emperor, economic refor...
