urand-Maillane, '"Memoires," 182.--Gregoire,
"Memoires," II., 34. On the 7th of November, 1793, in the great scene of
the abjurations, Gregoire alone resisted, declaring: "I remain a bishop;
I invoke freedom of worship." "Outcries burst forth to stifle my
voice the pitch of which I raised proportionately.... A demoniac scene
occurred, worthy of Milton.... I declare that in making this speech
I thought I was pronouncing sentence of death on myself." For several
days, emissaries were sent to him, either deputies or bandits, to
try and make him retract. On the 11th of November a placard posted
throughout Paris declared him responsible for the continuance of
fanaticism. "For about two years, I was almost the only one in Paris who
wore the ecclesiastical costume."]

[Footnote 3224: Moniteur, XVIII., 480. (Session of Brumaire 30.) N...."I
must make known the ceremony which took place here to-day. I move
that the speeches and details of this day be inserted in full in the
bulletin, and sent to all the departments." (Another deputy): "And
do not neglect to state that the Right was never so well furnished."
(Laughter and applause.)]

[Footnote 3227: Moniteur, XX., 544. After the effort of L'Admiral
against Collot d'Herbois, the latter appears in the tribune. "The
loudest applause greets him from all sides of the house."--Ibid., XXI.,
173. (Messidor 21.) On the report of Barere who praises the conduct of
Joseph Lebon, criticizing nothing but "somewhat harsh formalities," a
decree is passed to the order of the day, which is "adopted unanimously
with great applause."]

"on all sides there were cries of No, No."--Ibid., XXI., 268. (Thermidor
2.)
