the Revolution was among this class
always ended with this, 'but now, we are quiet, thanks to God and to
Bonaparte.'"--Mallet-Dupan, with his accustomed perspicacity, ("Mercure
Britainnique," Nos. for November 25 and December 10, 1799), at once
comprehended the character and harmony of this last revolution.
"The possible domination of the Jacobins chilled all ages and most
conditions.... Is that nothing, to be preserved, even for one year,
against the ravages of a faction, under whose empire nobody can sleep
tranquilly, and find that faction driven from all places of authority
just at a time when everybody feared its second outburst, with its
torches, its assassins, its assessors, and its agrarian laws, over the
whole French territory?.... That Revolution, of an entirely new species,
appeared to us as fundamental as that of 1789."]
