Taine, Hippolyte, 1828-1893

"The French Revolution - Volume 3"

It is clear that the scribe had
been instructed to enlarge the number of votes accepting the decrees,
which suggests doubts on the truth of the total furnished by the
convention.
[19] Ibid., A. II. B., 638 (General recapitulation). I have taken
the number of primary assemblies in the twenty-two first departments
on the alphabetical list, that is to say, one quarter of the
territory, which warrants a conclusion, proportionately, on the whole
country. In these twenty-two departments, 1,570 assemblies vote on
the constitution and only three hundred and twenty-eight on the
decrees. The figures are herewith given: in the C?tes-du-Nord,
eighty-four primary assemblies; only one votes in favor of the
decrees. Bouches du Rhone, ninety primary assemblies; four vote on
the decrees, two for and two against. Aude, eighty-three primary
assemblies; four vote on the decrees, three for and one against.
Arri?ge, fifty-nine primary assemblies; two vote on the decrees.
Basses-Alpes, forty-eight primary assemblies: two vote on the decrees.
Maritime Alps, twenty-three primary assemblies; not one votes on the
decrees.
[20] Ibid., (Proc?s-verbaux of the primary assemblies of the
department of the Seine, Popincourt section, Vend?miaire) 91.
