'10' Mortimer…Ternaux; IV。 221 to 229; 242 to 260; VI。 43 to 52。



'11' De Sybel; 〃Histoire de l'Europe pendant la Révolution Fran?aise;〃

II 76。  Madame Roland; II。152。 〃It was not only impossible to make

out the accounts; but to imagine where 130;000;000 had gone。 。 。 The

day he was dismissed he made sixty appointments; 。 。 。 from his son…

in…law; who; a vicar; was made a director at 19;000 francs salary; to

his hair…dresser; a young scapegrace of nineteen; whom he makes a

commissary of war〃 。 。 〃It was proved that he paid in full regiments

that were actually reduced to a few men。  Meillan; 20。  〃The faction

became the master of Paris through hired brigands; aided by the

millions placed at its disposition by the municipality; under the

pretext of ensuring supplies。〃



'12' See in the 〃Memoirs of Mme。 Elliot;〃 the particulars of this

vote。  Beaulieu; I。445。 〃I saw a placard signed by Marat posted on

the corners of the streets; stating that he had demanded 15;000 francs

of the Duke of Orleans as compensation for what he had done for him。

Gouverneur Morris; I。 260 (Letter of Dec。 21; 1792)。 The galleries

force the Convention to revoke its decree against the expulsion of the

Bourbons。  On the 22nd  of December the sections present a petition

in the same sense; while there is a sort of riot in the suburbs in

favor of Philippe…Egalité。



'13' Schmidt; I。 246 (Dutard; May 13)。 〃The Convention cannot count in

all Paris thirty persons ready to side with them。

1793; ninety…two deputies vote for Marat。



'15' Prudhomme; 〃Crimes de la Révolution;〃 V。 133。 Conversation with

Danton; December; 1792。  De Barante; III。123。 The same conversation;

probably after another verbal tradition。  I am obliged to substitute

less coarse terms for those of the quotation。



'16' He is the first speaker on the part of the 〃Mountain〃 in the

king's trial; and at once becomes president of the Jacobin Club。 His

speech against Louis XVI。 is significant。 〃 〃Louis is another

Catiline。〃 He should be executed; first as traitor taken in the act;

and next as king; that is to say; as a natural enemy and wild beast

taken in a net。



'17' Vatel; 〃Charlotte Corday and the Girondists;〃 I。 preface; CXLI。

(with all the documents; the letters of Madame de Saint…Just; the

examination on the 6th of October; 1786; etc。)  The articles stolen

consisted of six pieces of plate; a fine ring; gold…mounted pistols;

packets of silver lace; etc。 The youth declares that he is 〃about to

enter the Comte d'Artois' regiment of guards until he is old enough to

enter the king's guards。〃 He also had an idea of entering the

Oratoire。



'18' Cf。 his upeech against the king; hishis report on Danton; on the

Girondists; etc。 If the reader would comprehend Saint…Just's character

he has only to read his letter to d'Aubigny; July 20; 1792: 〃Since I

came here I am consumed with a republican fury; which is wasting me

away。 。 。 It is unfortunate that I cannot remain in Paris。 I feel

something within me which tells me that I shall float on the waves of

this century。 。 。 You dastards; you have not appreciated me! My renown

will yet blaze forth and cast yours in the shade。 Wretches that you

are; you call me a thief; a villain; because I can give you no money。

Tear my heart out of my body and eat it; and you will become what you

are not now  great!〃
