Excerpt from The Bonaparte Plot: Why It Was Engaged In, and How It Was Accomplished; An Official Narrative and Justification of the Events of December, 1851

As regarded the gratitude and consideration due to the army's ancient services, the Assembly refused to ao knowledge them, by rejecting the petition, modest as it was, tendered with a view to aid the glorious state of privation endured by our old soldiers.
