Reports of all the sessions must be read to appreciate the force of the pressure. See, especially, the sessions of April 9 and 16, May 15 and 29, June 8, 9, 15, and 25, July 1, 2, 5, 9, 11, 17, 18, and 21, and, after this date, all the sessions.--Lacretelle, "Dix Ans d'Epreuves," p. 78-81. "The Legislative Assembly served under the Jacobin Club while keeping up a counterfeit air of independence. The progress which fear had made in the French character was very great, at a time when everything was pitched in the haughtiest key... The majority, as far as intentions go, was for the conservatives; the actual majority was for the republicans."] [Footnote 2234: Moniteur, XIII. 212, session of July 22.] [Footnote 2235: Moniteur, XII. 22, session of April 2.--Mortimer-Ternaux, II. 95.--Moniteur, XIII. 222, session of July 22.] [Footnote 2236: Lacretelle, "Dix Ans d'Epreuves," 80.] [Footnote 2237: Mathieu Dumas, "Memoires," II. 88 (Feb. 23).--Hua, "Memoires d'un Avocat au Parliament de Paris," 106, 121, 134, 154. Moniteur, XIII. 212 (session of July 21), speech by M.---"The avenues to this building are daily beset with a horde of people who insult the representatives of the nation."] [Footnote 2238: De Vaublanc, "Memoires," 344.--Moniteur, XIII. 368 (letters and speeches of deputies, session of Aug. 9).] [Footnote 2239: Hua, 115.--Ibid., 90. 3 out of 4 deputies of Seine-et-Oise were Jacobins. "We met once a week to talk over the affairs of the department. We were obliged to drive out the vagabonds who, even at the table, talked of nothing but killing."] [Footnote 2240: Moniteur, XII. 702. For example, on the 19th of June, 1792, on a motion unexpectedly proposed by Condorcet, that the departments be authorized to burn all titles (to nobility) in the various depots.--Adopted at once, and unanimously.] [Footnote 2241: Later Stalin and his successors should invest the United Nations and other international organizations to indirectly propose and ensure the acceptance of a new convention of human rights, children's rights, the rights of refugees etc. In many cases these became the base of national legislation which is now giving trouble to many of the Western democracies.
