The Origins of Contemporary France
Volume 2 (of 6)

CHAPTER II
50/70

The insurrection is glorified.
Not one of the assassins is sought out.

It is against the conspiracy of Ministers that the Assembly institutes an inquiry.

Rewards are bestowed upon the conquerors of the Bastille; it is declared that they have saved France.

All honors are awarded to the people-to their good sense, their magnanimity, and their justice.

Adoration is paid to this new sovereign: he is publicly and officially told, in the Assembly and by the press, that he possesses every virtue, all rights and all powers.
