the Droits de l'Homme); F7; 2484 (section of the Halle…au…blé); the

resemblance in orthography and in their acts; the registry of the

Piques section (F7; 2475) is one of the most interesting; here may be

found the details of the appearance of the ministers before it; the

committee that examines them does not even spell their names

correctly; 〃Clavier〃 being often written for Clavière; and 〃Goyer〃 for

Gohier。

section he was not well received; that the president of this section

that he was threatened with the lock…up; and that his liberty was

solely due to the brave citizens of the Sans…culottes section and the

'156' 〃Lanjuinais states 100;000 men; Meillan 50;000; the deputies of

the Somme say 60;000; but without any evidence。 Judging by various

indications I should put the number much lower; on account of the

disarmament and absentees: say 30;000 men; the same as May 31。



'157' Mortimer…Ternaux; VII。 566。 Letter of the deputy Loiseau: 〃I

'169' Or workhouses; see Taine: 〃Notes on England〃 page 214: 〃It is an

English principle that the indigent; by giving up their freedom; have

a right to be supported。 Society pays the cost; but shuts them up and

sets them to work。 As this condition is repugnant to them; they avoid

the workhouse as much as possible。〃  Similar institutions existed in

France before the revolution。 (SR)。



'170' Sieyès (quoted by Barante; 〃Histoire de la Convention;〃 III。

169) thus describes it: 〃The fake people; the deadliest enemy which

the French people ever had; blocked incessantly the approaches to the

Convention 。 。 。  At the entrance or exit of the Convention the

astonished spectator thought that a new invasion of barbarian hordes

had suddenly occurred; a new irruption of voracious; sanguinary

harpies; flocking there to seize hold of the revolution as if it were

the natural prey of their species。〃



'171' Gouverneur Morris; II。 241。 Letter of Oct。 23; 1792。 〃The

populace … something; thank God; that is unknown in America〃〃   He

often insists on this essential characteristic of the French

Revolution。 … On this ever…present class; see the accurate and

complete work well supported by facts; of  Dr。 Lombrose; 〃L'Uomo

delinquente。〃

'173'  Meillan; 51。 … Buchez et Roux; XXVII。 356。 Official report of

the commune; session of June 1。 In the afternoon Marat comes to the

'177' Mallet du Pan; II。 52。 (March 8; 1794)。 … The titular general of

the revolutionary army was Ronsin。 〃Previous to the Revolution he was

a seedy author earning his living and reputation by working for the

boulevard stalls。 。 。 One day a person informed him that his staff

'was behaving very badly; acting tyrannically in the most outrageous

manner at the theaters and everywhere else; striking women and tearing

their bonnets to pieces。 Your men commit rape; pillage; and massacre。〃

To which he replied; 'Well; what shall I do? I know that they are a

lot of ruffians as well as you do; but those are the follows I need

for my revolutionary army。 Find me honest people; if you can; that

will do that business。'〃 (Prudhomme; 〃Crimes de la Révolution;〃 V。

'180' Schmidt; II。 85。 Report of Dutard; June 24 (on the review of the

previous evening) 2A sort of low…class artisan who seemed to me to

have been a soldier。 。 。  Apparently he had associated only with

disorderly men; I am sure that he would be found fond of gaming; wine;

women; and everything that denotes a bad character。〃



'181' Charlotte de Corday d'Armont; 1768 to 1793。 Young French girl

who knifed Marat in his bath。 Adherent of the Revolution; she

considered Marat as being responsible for the elimination of the

Girondists and the establishment of the terror。 She was guillotined。

(SR。)



'182' Lauvergne; 〃Histoire de la Révolution dans le département du

Var;〃 176。 At Toulon 〃the spirit of counter…revolution was nothing

else than the sentiment of self…preservation。〃 It was the same thing

p。 14。)



'183'  Gouverneur Morris; II。 395。 Letter of Jan。 21; 1794。 〃Admitting

what has been asserted by persons in a situation to know the truth and

deeply interested to prove the contrary; it is an undoubted truth that

ninety…nine…hundredths are opposed to all ideas of a dismemberment;

and will fight to prevent it。
