Parce que la liberté n'est jamais un acquis, l'auteur de ces quelques pages restées célèbres nous rappelle avec justesse que si les démocraties modernes furent construites afin de promouvoir la liberté des individus citoyens, faut-il encore que ceux-ci ne se replient pas sur la défense de leurs intérêts particuliers et ne s'abstiennent pas de faire vivre cette citoyenneté au sein d'une démocratie à laquelle chacun doit s'efforcer de participer. C'est aussi, de façon plus large, de la définition du mot Liberté dont il est ici question, une liberté dont le lecteur comprendra qu'elle est conditionnée par la faculté accordée à chacun de peser sur l'administration du Gouvernement.

" Le moment actuel est l'un des plus importants de la Révolution. L'ordre et la liberté sont d'un côté, l'anarchie et le despotisme, de l'autre. Peu d'instants sont encore donnés pour se prononcer; il faut se hâter de déposer les souvenirs et les haines, ou demain ces haines seront remplacées par d'inutiles regrets, ces souvenirs par d'amers remords. J'ai recueilli, sur la nécessité de se rallier au Gouvernement, quelques idées qui m'ont semblé utiles, et sur ces premiers pas dans la carrière constitutionnelle, quelques réflexions qui m'ont paru rassurantes. On trouvera, peut-être, des expressions sévères sur des hommes qui méri¬tent l'estime; plus leurs intentions sont pures et leurs caractères estimables, plus leurs erreurs peuvent être funestes. Il faut que ces hommes se rapprochent du Gouvernement, et non le Gouvernement de ces hommes. Lorsqu'ils entrent dans son sens, ils y portent l'honnêteté et la modération, mais lorsqu'ils le font entrer dans le leur, ils lui donnent de la vacillation et de la faiblesse. L'esprit de parti gagne seul à juger des institutions par les personnes, des opérations par les agents, et à devancer les mesures par un blâme, qui souvent ne devient juste que parce qu'il fut prématuré..."

" Je me suis fait une loi de ne répondre jamais aux critiques; et jusqu'ici celles que j'ai vues m'ont facilité l'observance de cette loi. Cependant, parmi les reproches qu'on a bien voulu diriger contre moi, il en est un qui me semble exiger un éclaircissement non comme accusation, mais comme fait. L'on a dit qu'un étranger ne devait émettre aucune opinion sur la Révolution française. Je n'examine pas si, le sort de tous les amis de la liberté étant attaché à la France, on peut exiger d'eux une neutralité passive dans une cause qui déci¬dera en dernier ressort de leurs destinées. Je me borne à ce qui m'est personnel. Je ne suis point étranger: originaire de France, et descendant d'une famille expatriée pour cause de religion, je suis rentré dans ma patrie aussitôt que je l'ai pu. J'y ai reporté ma fortune. Une loi positive m'y invitait, en me rendant tous mes droits civiques, civils et politiques. Cette loi a été corroborée en dernier lieu par la confirmation expresse des naturalisations décrétées par les assemblées précédentes. En conséquence, j'ai exercé dans les assemblées primaires de ma commune tous mes droits de citoyen: et il est impossible, soit par sa naissance, soit par ses principes, soit par ses propriétés, soit par ses intérêts de tout genre, soit enfin, par ses droits positifs et légaux, d'être plus français que je ne le suis."

When Adolphe, an introverted young man, decides to seduce a married woman that is ten years his senior, they begin a passionate love affair, breeding jealousy, scandal, and illicit devotion. Benjamin Constant's Adolphe is a French romance that has earned acclaim for its scandalous plot and emotion-provoking characters.

Adolphe : Anecdote trouvée dans les papiers d'un inconnu Suivi de quelques réflexions sur le théâtre allemand et sur la tragédie de Wallstein, et de l'esprit de conquête et de l'usurpation by Benjamin Constant a été considéré comme un travail important tout au long de l'histoire humaine, et afin de garantir que ce travail ne soit jamais perdu, nous avons pris des mesures pour assurer sa préservation en republiant ce livre dans un format contemporain pour les générations actuelles et futures. Ce livre entier a été retapé, remanié et reformaté. Étant donné que ces livres ne sont pas fabriqués à partir de copies numérisées, le texte est lisible et clair.

The twelfth volume of the Correspondance générale comprises more than 400 letters written in 1821¿1822, two years of intense parliamentary and journalistic activity for Constant. Like the previous volumes, it offers unique insights into the intellectual and political life of the time, as well as into Constant¿s relationships with his friends and family.

The volume 20 of the Complete Works comprises the 4th part of On Religion, dedicated to a comparison of sacerdotal and non-sacerdotal polytheism. In addition to the original text from 1830, the edition features a complete critical apparatus, information on the text genesis, as well as unpublished sources and work documents that give an idea of the challenges Constant encountered while writing this book, between 1827 and 1830.

This XIIIth volume comprises all the articles published by Benjamin Constant in 1819¿1820, that is almost 120 contributions. Featured in the most influential liberal newspapers of the time (La Minerve française, La Renommée, Le Courrier français...), these texts shed light on an essential but little known aspect of Constant's political and intellectual commitment under the French Restauration.

This volume contains Books VI¿VIII ofDe laReligion. These books cover the constitutive elements of sacerdotal polytheism (VI), the constitutive elements of non-sacerdotal polytheism (VII), and the Homeric poems (VIII). They occupy a key position in the economy of the work as a whole by contrasting the two forms of polytheism. In addition, this volume includes an interesting discussion of the so-called ¿Homer Question.¿

This tenth volume of the Correspondance générale, which covers the years 1816¿1818, is a valuable document on the intellectual life of the period as well as on the relations of Benjamin Constant with his friends and family, on his literary activities (particularly, during a sojourn in England, the publication of Adolphe) and on his career as publicist and champion of political and civil liberties, after his return to Paris in September 1816.

This volume contains the first of five volumes of Constant¿s De la Religion. It comprises two books with a different thematic focus: book one presents an outline of the ¿sentiment religieux¿, while book 2 deals with questions of fetishism. It also makes accessible all available documents relating to the publication of this first volume as well as the first ever edition of Constant¿s Carnet de notes depuis le 29 septembre 1824.

Volume 9 of the Correspondance générale comprises 416 letters that Constant wrote or received between 1813 and 1815. They clearly illustrate his eagerness to start a career in French politics. While initially, he was stuck in the isolation and monotony of married life in Göttingen, his personal situation was further complicated in 1814/15 by his unrequited, passionate love for Juliette Récamier.

This volume contains the Mélanges de littérature et de politique, published by Constant in 1829, one year before his death. This work, composed of 20 chapters, has often been considered to be his testament, or at least a representative overview of 40 years of writing on various political, literary, historical, religious, and philosophical topics. The volume also provides a number of hitherto unpublished documents as well as appendices.
