Causes of the Revolution?Paris divided into districts or sections? The sections meet in churches?Camille Desmoulins?Prince de Lambesc?Fall of the Bastille?Recall of Necker?King visits Paris?Foulon and Berthier a la Lanterne. Sergent describes the state of affairs in 17S9, and hia motives for joining the revolutionary party in the following passages? 1 A financial difficulty, the necessity for repairing an enormous deficit caused by the extravagance of the reigns of Louis XIV. and Louis XV., obliged Louis XVI. to convoke the States-General. All he wanted was money. But the people who had to furnish it knew that it would be quickly swallowed up by the insatiable avidity of the ministers, the courtiers, and the officials; they therefore ordered their deputies to grant nothing until the abuses which had brought about this distress were removed. The chief, the most insupportable, and the most iniquitous was the absolute power of the Crown. It had been cleverly and wickedly disguised and madeendurable in every Court by the formula?' Such is our good pleasure.' Thus the absolute power which reduced a whole nation to misery called itself ' good pleasure, ' and it was consecrated by Divine Right. This is why any imprudent wretch who ventured to speak, or write, or prove that its real name was tyranny, was sent to rot in the Bastille. The Assembly convoked at Versailles began indeed by rectifying abuses; the Court, in great alarm, tried to oppose its proceedings by threats, by violence, and by calling in the aid of the army, whose chiefs throve upon these abuses. It was at this time that I became a Revolutionist. I joined the cause of the Tiers Etat, the real force of the nation, which in the month of May was attired in the dress of beadles, and walked behind t...

Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Regicide: Edited From the Original Mss of Sergent Marceau, Member of the Convention, and Administrator of Police in the French Revolution Towards the end of the month of October 1846, a few days after the floods which did so much damage to the communications between Marseilles and Nice, an English lady and gentleman were driving rapidly along the highway, when they were stopped by two persons, who commanded the postillions, in an authoritative tone, to turn aside from the road and follow one of them, adding: "My will is never questioned here." The postillions showed no inclination to dispute it, and without further ado, masters, servants, carriages, bag and baggage were carried off. This fierce jailor, who proved to be no other than their distinguished and eccentric countryman, Lord Brougham, had heard that Mr. and Mrs. Davenport were expected at the hotel at Cannes, and determined to substitute his chateau for that hostelry, to the great satisfaction of every one except the good landlord, who would willingly have dispensed with such a formidable rival. The travellers were treated with the utmost kindness by their despotic host, and were not allowed to move until the mischief caused by the inundations had been entirely repaired.

Excerpt from book: But this, as well as the Cheshire property, appears to have parsed, early in the eighteenth century, into the family of Isherwood, of Bolton- le-Moors, in Lancashire, by a marriage with the niece of the regicide, the heiress of the Bradshaw family. MEMOIR OF THOMAS HARRISON. Thomas Harrison, whose courageous defence of his conduct on his trial, and undaunted endurance of his last sufferings, were not less remarkable than the fanatical extravagances of his life, was the son of a grazier, near Newcastle under Line, according to some writers; of a butcher, near Nantwich, in Cheshire, according to Clarendon. The former is the more probable account. In the Register of Newcastle under Lyne is an entry of Thomas Harrisc n, baptized July 16. 1606. And tradition points out an old house in the Lower Street of that town as having belonged to the regicide. It is certain that he came to London young, and was placed under an attorney in Clifford's Inn, of the name of Hoselker; which kind of education, says Clarendon, introduces men into the language and practice of business; and if it be not resisted by the great ingenuity (ingenuousness) of the person, inclines young men to more pride than any other kind of breeding, and disposes them to be pragmatical and insolent, though they havethe skill to conceal it from their masters, except they find them (as they are too often) inclined to cherish it. When the students of the Inns of Court, infected with the insubordinate spirit of the times, formed themselves into companies at the commencement of the civil war, Harrison was among the number; and served under Sir Philip Stapylton in the body guard of the General the Earl of Essex. Clarendon says he first obtained the office of a Cornet; and got up, by diligence and sobriety, to the s...
