" - Archives Nationales, F7, 31167. (Report of the
observatory Chaumont, Niv?se 10, year II.) - "Boolean's effigy, placed
in the college of Lisle, has been lowered to the statues of the
saints, the latter being taken out of their niches. There is now no
kind of distinction. Saints and authors are of the same class."
[45] Buchez et Roux., 296. ("Institutions" by Saint-Just.) - Meillan,
"M?moires," p. 17. - Anne Plumptre, "A narrative of three years'
residence in France, from 1802 to 1805," II., 96. At Marseilles: "The
two great crimes charged on those who doomed to destruction, were here
as elsewhere, wealth and aristocracy. . . It had been decreed by
the Terrorists that no person could have occasion for more than two
hundred livres a year, and that no income should be permitted to
exceed that sum."
[46] Archives Nationales, F7, 4437. (Address of the people's club of
Caisson (Gard), Messidor 7, year II.) "The Bourgeoisie, the
merchants, the large land-owners have all the pretension of the ex-
nobles. The law provides no means for opening the eyes of the common
people in relation to these new tyrants. The club desires that the
revolutionary tribunal should be empowered to condemn this proud class
of individuals to a prompt partial confinement.
