constant course first; decree the principle and leave the drawing up
of what they had so resolved (or; as they called it; la rédaction)
for later。 It is astonishing how great an influence it had on
their debates and measures。 … Ibid。 I。 354。 Letter by
Dumont; June 2; 1789。 〃They prefer their own folly to all the
results of British experience。 They revolt at the idea of
borrowing anything from our government; which is scoffed at here as
one of the iniquities of human reason; although they admit that you
have two or three good laws; but that you should presume to have a
constitution is not to be sustained。〃

rain; sleet; and snow; in the piercing cold; to the church of the
Feuillants; to secure places for the galleries of the Assembly;
which we were not to occupy till noon on the following day。 We
were obliged; moreover; to contend for them with a crowd animated by
passions; and even by interests; very different from our own。 We
were not long in perceiving that a considerable part of the
galleries was under pay; and that the scenes of cruelty which gave
pain to us were joy to them。 I cannot express the horror I felt on
hearing those women; since called tricoteuses; take a delight in the
already homicidal doctrines of Robespierre; enjoying his sharp voice
and feasting their eyes on his ugly face; the living type of envy。〃

judges; or the nation?〃 M。 Chasset; President: 〃Monsieur opinionist;
I call you to order。 You speak of hindrances to a free vote; there
has never been anything of the kind in this Assembly。〃
'39' Sauzay; I 140。 Letter of M。 Lompré; liberal deputy; to M。
Séguin; chanoine (towards the end of November; 1789)。 〃The service
becomes more difficult every day; we have become objects of popular
fury; and; when no other resource was left to us to avoid the
tempest but to get rid of the endowments of the clergy; we yielded
to force。 It had become a pressing necessity; and I should have
been sorry to have had you still here; exposed to the outrages and
violence with which I have been repeatedly threatened。〃

treachery which are constantly meditated against the inhabitants of
