'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

spread through the rural districts。 At Gennevilliers; a peasant while

National Convention to replace you; what remains for you to do but to

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;〃

to 6;000 persons。
