(Report of Gregoire, 14 Fructidor, year II): "Dumas said that all clever
men (les hommes d'esprit) should be sent to the guillotine... Henriot
proposed to burn the National Library.... and his proposal is repeated
in Marseille... The systematic persecution of talented persons was
organized.... Shouts had been heard in the sections: Beware of that man
as he as written a book."]

[Footnote 41147: "Tableau des Prisons de Toulouse" by Pescayre,
prisoner, year III, p. 317 ( Messidor 22nd, year II). Pinson, secretary
of the reception, indoctrinated as follows the old duke de Lesparre:
"Citoyen, your detention is used by your country as a means of
conversion. Eight of your immediate family have, because they did not
take advantage of his opportunity, carried their heads to the scaffold.
What have you done to avoid the sword of justice? Speak! What are your
feelings? Let us hear your principles. Have you at last renounced the
arrogance of the ancient regime? Do you believe in equality established
by nature and ordained by the Convention? Who are the sans-culottes you
associate with? Is your cell not a meeting place for the aristocrats?...
It is I, who in the future will be your company; I, who will make you
familiar with the republican principles, who will make you love them,
and who will take care of your improvement."]
