ots that have taken the places of the Spartans."--The sign
of their advent is the expulsion of the liberals and of the refined of
1789. ("Archives Nationales," F7, 4434, No.6. Letter of Richard to
the committee on Public Safety, Ventose 3, year II.). During the
proconsulate of Baudot at Toulouse "almost all the patriots of 1789 were
excluded from the popular club they had founded; an immense number were
admitted whose patriotism reached only as far back as the 10th of
August 1792, if it even went so far as the 31st of last May. It is an
established fact that out of more than 1,000 persons who now compose the
club there are not fifty whose patriotism as far back as the beginning
of the Revolution."]

advised to understand Taine's analysis. One might think Hitler had read
Taine pr somebody who had learned from his wisdom, somewhat like the
Devil who had read the Bible. See page 208, The Secret of Ruling the
Masses, in Rauschning's book, "Hitler Speaks". (SR).]

[Footnote 33115: Buchez et Roux, XXV. 156 (extract from the Patriote
Francais, March 30, 1793).Speech by Chasles at the Jacobin Club, March
27: "We have announced to our fellow-citizens in the country that by
means of the war-tax the poor could be fed by the rich, and that they
would find in the purses of those egoists the wherewithal to live
on." Ibid., 269. Speech by Rose Lacombe: "Let us make sure of the
aristocrats; let us force them to meet the enemies which Dumouriez is
bringing against Paris. Let us give them to understand that if they
prove treacherous their wives and children shall have their throats cut,
and that we will burn their houses.. I do not want patriots to leave the
city; I want them to guard Paris. And if we are beaten, the first man
who hesitates to apply the torch, let him be stabbed at once. I want
all the owners of property who have grabbed everything and excited
the people's anger, to kill the tyrants themselves or else be killed."
Applause--April 3.:--Ibid., 302 (in the Convention, April
8): "Marat demands that 100,000 relatives and friends of the emigres be
seized as hostages for the safety of the commissioners in the hands of
the enemy."--Cf. Balleydier, 117, 122. At Lyons, Jan. 26, 1793, Challier
