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。〃

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

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

'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。〃

'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

'186' Among other documents; the following letter will show the
quality of these recruits; especially of the recruits of 1791; who
were much the best men。 (Letter from the municipal officers of Dorat;
December 28; 1792; 〃Archives Nationales;〃 F7; 3275。) 〃The commune of
Dorat is made up of three classes of citizens: The richest class;
composed of persons confirmed in the prejudices of the ancient régime;
has been disarmed。 The second; composed of well…to…do people; fills
the administrative positions。 It is against them that the fury of the
turbulent is aimed; but those of this class who could make resistance
have gone to fight the enemy abroad。 The third class; and the most
numerous; is made up in part of the seditious and in part of laborers;
who; not daring to mix in the revolt; content themselves with coveting
the tax on grain。〃 … Toulongeon; 〃Histoire de France depuis la
Révolution;〃 IV。 94。 〃Do not degrade a nation by ascribing base
motives to it and a servile fear。 Every one; on the contrary; felt
himself infused by an exalted instinct for the public welfare。〃 …

to remain at home when the independence of the nation was threatened。
Each one quitted his studies or his profession。
