Buzot). "There is not a man in this town who owns anything, that is not
afraid of being insulted and struck in his section if he dares raise
his voice against the ruling power... The permanent assemblies of Paris
consist of a small number of men who have succeeded in keeping other
citizens away."--Schmidt, I. 235 (Dutard, May 28): "Another plan
would be to drill young men in the use of the staff. One must be a
sans-culotte, must live with sans-culottes, to discover the value of
expedients of this kind. There is nothing the sans-culotte fears as
much as a truncheon. A number of young men lately carried them in their
trousers, and everybody trembled as they passed. I wished that the
fashion were general."]

or 4,000 wine-dealers, and the equally numerous places of refreshment in
Paris; you would find the 15,000 clerks they employ constantly busy. If
we should then go to the offices of the 114 notaries, we should again
find two-thirds of these gentlemen in their caps and red slippers, also
very much engaged. We might then, again, go to the 200 or 300
