Description

Excerpt from The History of the French Revolution, Vol. 2 of 4 Wo to the vanquished when the victors disagree! The latter suspend their own quarrels, and seek to surpass each other in zeal to Crush their prostrate enemies; At the Temple were confined the prisoners on whom the tempest of the revolutionary passions was about to burst. The monarchy, the aristocracy, in short all the past, against which the Revolution was furi ously struggling, were personified, as it were, in the unfortunate Louis XVI. The manner in which each should hen'ceforth treat him was to be the test of his hatred to the counter-revolution. The Legislative Assembly, too closely succeeding the constitution which declared the King inviolable, had not ventured to decide upon his fate; it had suspended and shut him up in the Temple; it had not even abolished royalty, and had bequeathed to a Convention the duty of judging all that belonged to the old monarchy, whether material or personal. Now that royalty was abolished, the repub lic decreed, and the framing of the constitution was consigned to the medita tions of the most distinguished minds in the Assembly, the fate of Louis XVI. Yet remained to be considered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
