or pleasures。  The most cordial and frankest union prevailed amongst

us all。〃



'148' 〃Journal de Marche du sergent Fracasse。〃 … 〃 Les Cahiers du

capitaine Coignet。〃 … Correspondence of Maurice Dupin in 〃Histoire de

ma Vie;〃 by George Sand。



'149' 〃Les Cahiers du Capitaine Coignet;〃 p。76。  〃And then we saw the

big gentlemen getting out of the windows。  Mantles; caps and feathers

lay on the floor and the grenadiers ripped off the lace。〃 … Ibid。; 78;

Narration by the grenadier Chome: 〃 The pigeons all flew out of the

window and we had the hall to ourselves。〃



'150' Dufort de Cheverney; 〃 Mémoires;〃 September 1; 1800。

〃Bonaparte; being fortunately placed at the head of the government;

advanced the Revolution more than fifty years; the cup of crimes was

full and overflowing。  He cut off the seven hundred and fifty heads of

the hydra; concentrated power in his own hands; and prevented the

primary assemblies from sending us another third of fresh scoundrels

in the place of those about to take themselves off。  。  。  。  Since I

stopped writing things are so changed as to make revolutionary events

appear as if they had transpired more than twenty years ago。  。  。  。

The people are no longer tormented on account of the decade; which is

no longer observed except by the authorities。  。  。  。  One can travel

about the country without a passport。  。  。  。  Subordination is

established among the troops; all the conscripts are coming back。  。

。  。  The government knows no party; a royalist is placed along with a

determined republican; each being; so to say; neutralized by the

other。  The First Consul; more a King than Louis XIV。; has called the

ablest men to his councils without caring what they were。〃 … Anne

Plumptre; 〃A Narrative of Three Years' Residence in France from 1802

to 1805;〃 I。; 326; 329。  〃The class denominated the people is most

certainly; taking it in the aggregate; favorably disposed to

Bonaparte。  Any tale of distress from 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。
