Volume 4 (of 6) by Hippolyte A. Taine]@TWC D-Link book Volume 4 (of 6) 93/111 It is for the convention to say whether it will hear them read. I have to state beforehand that it can hear nothing more repulsive nor better authenticated."-- De Martel, "Fouche, 246. (Report of the constituted authorities of la Nievre on the missions of Collot d'Herbois, Laplanche, Fouche and Pointe, Prairial 19, year III.) Laplanche, a former Benedictine, is the most foul-mouthed." In his speech to the people of Moulins-Engelbert, St.Pierre-le-Montier, and Nevers, Laplanche asked girls to surrender themselves and let modesty go. "Beget children," he exclaims, "the Republic needs them. continence is the virtue of fools." Bibliotheque Nationale, Lb. |
