she considered Marat as being responsible for the elimination of the
Girondists and the establishment of the terror. She was guillotined.

departement du Var," 176. At Toulon "the spirit of counter-revolution
was nothing else than the sentiment of self-preservation." It was the
same thing at Lyons. (Nolhac, "Souvenir de trois annee de la Revolution
a Lyon," p. 14.)]

"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

to it and a servile fear. Every one, on the contrary, felt himself
