Excerpt from Paris en 1794 Et en 1795: Histoire de la Rue, du Club, de la Famine; Composée d'Après des Documents Inédits, Particulièrement les Rapports de Police Et les Registres du Comité de Salut Public
Que sortira-t - il de ce droit divin des masses? Peut - être le développement pacifique de la grandeur de la démocratie, peut-être autre chose, car il y a des accidents perturbateurs, il y a la peste, la famine, les guerres malheureuses qui troublent la raison de l'homme, aigrissent son caractère, endur cissent son coeur, et nul n'est en situation de les prévoir ni de les conjurer.
On doit tout espérer du suffrage universel il viendra, comme un vent favorable, enfler docilement les voiles du navire, en lui donnant la marche que souhaite le pilote; il conduira la démocratie au port, malgré les écueils; et plaise à Dieu qu'il en soit ainsi!

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the harrowing realities of Paris during the tumultuous year of 1794, when the French Revolution was at its peak. The author draws upon a rich tapestry of historical documents, including police reports and the records of the infamous Committee of Public Safety, to present a vivid portrait of the city under the oppressive shadow of the Reign of Terror. The work explores the complex interplay between the political machinations of Robespierre and his cohorts, the desperation and suffering of the populace, and the insidious role of demagogy in fanning the flames of violence and paranoia. Through the lens of this tumultuous period, the book offers a profound meditation on the dangers of unchecked power and the fragility of human rights during times of social upheaval.
