Revolution is considered to be between 600,000 and 800,000 dead. (SR)] [Footnote 31126: Mortimer-Ternaux, III. 399, 592, 602-606.--"Proces-verbal des 8, 9, 10 Septembre, extrait des registres de la municipalite de Versailles." (In the "Memoires sur les journees de Septembre"), p. 358 and following pages.--Granier de Cassagnac, II. 483. Bonnet's exploit at Orleans, pointed out to Fournier, Sept. I. Fournier replies: "In God's name, I am not to be ordered; when the bloody beggars have had their heads cut off the trial may be held later!"] [Footnote 31127: Roch Marcandier, 210. Speech by Lazowski to the section of Finistere, fauborg Saint-Marceau. Lazowski had, in addition, set free the assassins of the mayor of Etampes, and laid their manacles on the bureau table.] [Footnote 31128: Malouet, II. 243 (Sept. 2).--Moniteur, XIII. 48 (session of Sept. 27, 1792). We see in the speech of Panis that analogous scenes took place in the committee of supervision. "Imagine our situation. We were surrounded by citizens irritated against the treachery of the court. We were told: 'Here is an aristocrat who is going to fly; you must stop him, or your yourselves are traitors!' Pistols were pointed at us and we found ourselves obliged to sign warrants, not so much for our own safety as for that of the persons denounced."] [Footnote 31129: Granier de Cassagnac, II. 258.--Prudhomme, "Les Crimes de la Revolution," III. 272.--Mortimer-Ternaux, III. 631.--De Ferriere, III. 391.--(The expression quoted was recorded by Retif de la Bretonne.)] [Footnote 31130: That is how to do it, must any anarchist or hopeful revolutionary have thought, upon reading Taine's livid description.-But also: "Do not let the bourgeois read this, it might scare them and make our task more difficult." (SR).] [Footnote 31131: Moniteur, XIII. 698, 698 (numbers for Sept. 15 and 16). Ibid., Letter of Roland, 701; of Petion, 711.--Buchez et Roux, XVIII. 33. 34.--Prudhomme's journal contains an engraving of this subject (Sept. 14)--"An Englishman admitted to the bar of the house denounces to the National Assembly a robbery committed in a house occupied by him at Chaillot by two bailiffs and their satellites. The robbery consisted of twelve louis, five guineas, five thousand pounds in assignats, and several other objects." The courts before which he appeared did not dare take up his case (Buchez et Roux, XVII. P. 1, Sept. 18).] [Footnote 31132: Buchez et Roux, XVI
