[67] Louvet, 119, 128, 150, 193. - Meillan, 130, 141. (On the
disposition and sentiments of the provinces and of the public in
general, the reader will find ample and authentic details in the
narratives of the fugitives who scattered themselves in all
directions, and especially those of Louvet, Meillan, Dulaure, and
Vaublanc.) Cf. the "M?moires de Hua" and "Un S?jour en France in 1792
and 1795." - Mallet-du-Pan already states this disposition before 1789
(MS. Journal). "June, 1785: The French live simply in a crowd; they
must all cling together. On the promenades they huddle together and
jostle each other in one alley; the same when there is more space."
"Aug., 1787, (after the first riots): I have remarked in general more
curiosity than excitement in the multitude. . . . One can judge,
at this moment, the national character; a good deal of bravado and
nonsense; neither reason, rule nor method; rebellious in crowds, and
not a soul that does not tremble in the presence of a corporal."
