156 (extract from the Patriote Francais, March 30, 1793).Speech by Chasles at the Jacobin Club, March 27: "We have announced to our fellow-citizens in the country that by means of the war-tax the poor could be fed by the rich, and that they would find in the purses of those egoists the wherewithal to live on." Ibid., 269.

Speech by Rose Lacombe: "Let us make sure of the aristocrats; let us force them to meet the enemies which Dumouriez is bringing against Paris.

Let us give them to understand that if they prove treacherous their wives and children shall have their throats cut, and that we will burn their houses..

I do not want patriots to leave the city; I want them to guard Paris.

And if we are beaten, the first man who hesitates to apply the torch, let him be stabbed at once.
