[20] The club of the Feuillants, of which La Fayette was the leading
member, was formed after the 17th July, 1791. It consisted principally
of Royalists, and was soon dissolved.--H. T. R.

[21] The Marseillais trace their origin to a colony of Phocians in the
1st year of the 43d Olympiad, 599 years B.C. It was the
Massilia of the Romans, and called by Cicero the "mistress of Gaul," and
by Pliny, the "mistress of education."--H. T. R.

[22] M. Lamartine does not here refer to Andre Chenier, an admirable
lyric poet, from whom he has quoted at page 351.; _he_ was a Royalist,
and as such condemned and guillotined in July 1794, in his thirty-second
year. He had a brother, Joseph Chenier, his junior by two years, who was
an enthusiastic republican, and wrote and brought out, from 1785 to
1795, a great many tragedies, viz. _Charles IX._, _Calas_, _Henry
VIII._, _Timoleon_, _Tibere_, &c., and was elected member of the
legislative assemblies from 1792 to 1802. He fell under Napoleon's
displeasure, and he dismissed him from his appointment as
inspector-general of public instruction, in 1803. The consul was
becoming imperial in his aspirations. Joseph Chenier died in 1811,
consistent to the last in his republican notions.--H. T. R.

[25] It was on the 30th July, 1792, that the Marseillais arrived in
Paris.--H. T. R.

[26] M. Lamartine has not in his work given the verses 3, 4, and 5; we
have therefore supplied them, that "The Marseillaise" may be complete.
The Marseillais ruffians entered Paris on the 30th July, 1792, by the
Faubourg Saint-Antoine (the St. Giles's of Paris), and headed by
Santerre, went to the Champs Elysees, (thus traversing the whole city
from south to north,) where a banquet awaited them. Their arrival was
marked by riots and bloodshed--Duhamel was murdered. This celebrated
song was written by Rouget de Lisle, who also composed the air. On the
18th Nivose, an. iv.(8th January, 1795,) an order of the Directory
enjoined that at all theatres and sights the air of the "Marseillaise,"
and those of "Ca Ira,--Veillons au Salut de l'Empire," and "Le Chant du
Depart," should be played. Rouget de Lisle was an officer of engineers
in 1790, and in spite of his republican opinions, incarcerated during
the reign of terror and only saved by the 9th Thermidor. He would
