. . . There are twelve thousand of them and the lists
are not yet complete." (Feb. 1, 1794.) - Anne Plumptre.2A Narrative
of Three years' Residence in France, from 1802 to 1805." "During this
period the streets of Marseilles were almost those of a deserted town.
One could go from one end of the town to the other without meeting any
one he could call an inhabitant. The great terrorists, of whom
scarcely one was a Marseillaise, the soldiers and roughs as they
called themselves, were almost the only persons encountered." The
latter, to the number of fifty or sixty, in jackets with leather
straps, fell upon all whom they did not like, and especially on
anybody with a clean shirt and white cravat. Many persons on the
"Cours" were thus whipped to death. No women went out-doors without a
basked, while every man wore a jacket, without which they were taken
for aristocrats. (II., 94.)
