Excerpt from The Tribunal of the Terror: A Study of Paris in 1793-1795 In writing this book my object has been, not to re-tell in detail the terrible history of the Revolutionary Tribunal, but rather to attempt to reconstitute the life and appearance of the Palais de Justice during the evil days of the Revolution, and to outline the small group of social outcasts who at that time seized upon the old Parliament house and assumed the infamous task of applying the pitiless laws which the Terror extorted from the National Convention. I have applied myself, preferably, to the work of bringing up before my readers eyes the scenes and actors in a tragedy of which certain eminent historians have, in a definite manner, studied the causes, circumstances, and results. I have thus been led to revise and complete the little we knew of the topographical position of the Tribunal, which tradition had too summarily restricted to a small part of the huge Palais. There being no contemporary description of events to guide me, I have been obliged, in bringing this minute and sometimes disheartening work to a successful end, to obtain information from many hitherto unexplored sources. A line in a report, a phrase in a proves verbal, a precise statement in a deposition, the accounts of architects, the estimates of contractors, and even the bills of tradespeople and workmen have supplied me with indications which substantiated each other and formed as a whole a sort of re-edification. Fortunately the French National Archives abound in documents of the nature of those mentioned above. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In April, 1793, the Revolutionary Tribunal of Paris condemned a handful of prisoners to death for crimes against the French Republic-and judges, jury, and spectators wept as sentence was passed. In July, 1794, the Tribunal sent thirty to fifty people a day to the guillotine. What, in fifteen months, turned the Tribunal into an instrument of mass murder? What collective madness or terror seized its personnel, some of them callous psychopaths, others decent men trapped in nightmarish circumstances? How could they casually condemn hundreds to death, from peasants to duchesses, from teenagers to senile octogenarians? And how, in the end, could they justify themselves by declaring, in all sincerity, that they had merely done their patriotic duty? In this book, first published in 1909 and now re-published with additional notes for the 21st-century reader, acclaimed historian G. Lenotre examines the Revolutionary Tribunal, its beginnings, its personnel, its premises, its most famous trials of revolutionaries and royalty, and finally its downfall as the Terror careened to its bloody conclusion. His extensive archival research strips away layers of myth and presents a factual and fascinating history of a dark and often misunderstood era."

The thesis offers a reappraisal of a particular aspect of the Terror in France: the system of revolutionary justice that developed during the course of 1793 and 1794. Through a series of laws between March 1793 and 22 prairial Year II (10 June 1794) central government sought to define and punish 'counter-revolutionary' activity, deemed a potentially fatal threat to the internal security of a nation at war with much of Europe. At the heart of this system stood the tribunal criminel et extraordinaire in Paris - later named the Revolutionary Tribunal - which had jurisdiction over the entire country in such cases. The basic premise of the thesis is that historians to date have perpetuated a misleading image of those affected by the Terror as helpless victims of state repression, and that this is due in large part to the fact that our understanding of the revolutionary judicial system is . simplistic. The thesis aims to do two things: first, restore the suspect as an active protagonist fn the narrative of the period; second, chart the extent to which there was space for suspects and their defences to exploit within the system organised around the Paris Tribunal. Part One looks at the basic mechanics of the judicial Terror, a chain that stretched out from the capital all over France. The analysis charts the changes and continuities both within the system that was providing the Paris Tribunal with cases, and in the record of this institution in dealing with them. It includes detailed examination of many of the mechanisms /f the Terror, from local investigations of alleged counter-revolutionary offences through to the work of the Paris Tribunal itself. Part Two focuses on how defences were constructed under this system of revolutionary justice, and the impact such efforts had. Not only does this highlight how active suspects themselves were in their own defence, but new evidence is also presented showing that large numbers benefitted from the support of the wider community as well.
