low tone of voice. The clock strikes two and they all leave or go to
bed.--These people seem to you insensible. Very well; there is not one
of them who would not accept death at the king's feet."--On the 23d of
June, 1791, at the news of the king's arrest at Varennes, "the Bois de
Boulogne and the Champs Elysees were filled with people talking in a
frivolous way about the most serious matters, while young men are
seen, pronouncing sentences of death in their frolics with courtesans."

Depit d'un Amant.)--See ch. XI. for the sentiment of the population in
May and June, 1793.]

the Minister of the Interior, Sept. 16, 1792, with the daily list of all
the men that have left Paris between the3rd and 15th of September, the
total amounting to 18,635, of which 15,504 are volunteers. Other letters
from the same, indicating subsequent departures: Sept. 17, 1,071 men;
none the following days until Sept. 21, 243; 22nd 150; up to the 26th,
813; on Oct. 1st, 113; 2nd and 3rd, 1,088; 4th, 1620; 16th, 196, etc.--I
believe that amongst those who leave, some are passing through Paris
coming from the provinces; this prevents an exact calculation of the
number of Parisian volunteers. M. de Lavalette, himself a volunteer,
says 60,000; but he furnishes not proofs of this.]

IX. 384.----"One can scarcely comprehend," says Lafayette, ("Memoires,"
I. 454), "how the Jacobin minority and a gang of pretended Marseilles
men could render themselves masters of Paris, while almost the whole
of the 40,000 citizens forming the national guard desired the
Constitution."]

in a leveling of incomes through proportional taxation and aids of all

immense wealth which was to be produced by the efficient industry of the
20th century. (SR).]
