have the Prussians than Thiers。 Thiers is Prussian on the inside!〃
'4' Today; 115 years after these words were written; we have seen
others; Lenin; Stalin; Hitler; Pol Pot; Mao Tse Tung; etc following in
the Jacobin's footsteps。 Nobles; Bourgeois; Jews and other
undesirables have been methodically put away。 The sheeplike majority
did not read Taine or did not profit from his warnings while most of
the great tyrants learned from him or from the events he described

prison plot; so scandalously circulated during the Reign of Terror;
appears for the first time on the 2d of September。 The same report was
spread through the rural districts。 At Gennevilliers; a peasant while

read Weber (〃Mémoires;〃 II。 245); who narrates his own。

the orders of the National Assembly the affair is repeated on the
following day; and it lasts from the 19th to the 31st of August; in
the evening。 Moore; Aug。31。 The stupid; sheep…like vanity of the
bourgeois enlisted as a gendarme for the sans…culottes is here well
depicted。 The keeper of the H?tel Meurice; where Moore and Lord
Lauderdale put up; was on guard and on the chase the night before: 〃He
talked a good deal of the fatigue he had undergone; and hinted a
little of the dangers to which he had been exposed in the course of
this severe duty。 Being asked if he had been successful in his search
after suspected persons 'Yes my lord; infinitely; our battalion
arrested four priests。' He could not have looked more lofty if he had
taken the Duke of Brunswick;〃
'38' According to R?derer; the number arrested amounted to from 5;000
to 6;000 persons。
