    "L'Homme et les Sociétés" est une ¿uvre majeure de Gustave Le Bon, un psychologue social et sociologue français du XIXe siècle. Bien que cette ¿uvre ne porte pas spécifiquement sur la Révolution française, Gustave Le Bon a écrit sur les foules et les mouvements sociaux, ce qui pourrait inclure une analyse de la Révolution française dans le contexte de la psychologie des foules et des révolutions.L'une des idées clés de Gustave Le Bon, exposée dans ses travaux, est que les foules ont un comportement collectif différent de celui de l'individu isolé. Il a étudié comment les émotions, les croyances et les actions se propagent au sein des foules, et comment les foules peuvent être influencées par des leaders charismatiques ou des événements collectifs.Bien que le titre que vous avez fourni soit quelque peu ambigu, il est possible que Gustave Le Bon ait inclus des réflexions sur la Révolution française dans ses écrits sur la psychologie des foules et des révolutions.

    Veramente non dovrei scriverle, dal momento che alla mia prima lettera Ella non ha né meno risposto... Ma non posso ritenere il vivo desiderio che ho di comunicare così con una donna che io non conosco, forse trasportato dalla novità stessa di questo fatto. Le dissi che avrei desiderato essere uno fra i suoi corrispondenti, per avere agio di studiare il carattere di una giovane donna. Riconosco di aver mostrato troppo rudemente il mio scopo facendolo apparire privo di ogni grazia. Spero di rimediare con la presente dicendole che io vorrei conoscere le sue impressioni su l¿arte senese...

    Limonta è una terricciuola presso che ascosa fra i castagni al guardo di chi, spiccatosi dalla punta di Bellagio, per navigar verso Lecco, la cerca a mezza costa, in faccia a Lierna. Cominciando dall'ottavo secolo, fino agli ultimi tempi che fur tolti i feudi in Lombardia, essa fu sempre soggetta al monastero di S. Ambrogio di Milano; e l'Abate fra gli altri titoli avea quello di conte di Limonta. Sul confine tra il dominio dei monaci e il territorio di Bellagio, segnato ancora al dì d'oggi con una pietra, sorgeva nel 1329 un vecchio castello che fu poi rovinato verso il terminar di quel secolo, e del quale non si conserva più nessun avanzo.
