Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII Terminology For The Idea Of Liberty Let Us look now at the idea of liberty, of freedom. To express this idea adequately the very word liberte itself underwent tremendous changes. Think how vague, how unreal a term it was before the Revolution, like the concept it represented; how remote from daily experience.

C'est une revolution!" And the word commences its whirlwind career. "Une revolution? C'est LA Revolution!" Its article is changed from the indefinite to the definite. It acquires a capital R if not capitals throughout. It becomes a proper noun. From being the mere general name of a political movement, a word on a par with 'battle' or 'war' or 'invasion, ' the mere synonym, more or less exact, of 'revolie, sedition, insurrection, rebellion, ' it now becomes one of the most individual of words, one of the most powerful. He who could say now "La Revolution, c'est moi," would wield a greater, a more violent power than had he who said "L'Etat, c'est moi." "La Revolution" in...
