An account of the dangers to which I have been exposed , since the 31st of May, 1793. Interspersed with historical remarks, by John-Baptist Louvet, one of the French representatives who were proscribed in 1793. And now president of the national convention. "righteous Heaven! enlighten this unhappy Nation, for whose Liberty I Pray-Liberty! I solicit for those, whose elevated souls contemn death, yet in cases of necessity can inflict it; not for the corrupt herd, who rising from their couches of debauchery, or beds of misery, fly to glut themselves, with Blood, streaming from gibbets. It is for that wise people, I pray, who cultivate humanity, practice justice, hate flattery, distinguish real friends, and admire truth. Till you, my fellow citizens, become this wise people, vain is all you say about Liberty; your lot will be unbridled licentiousness, of which all of you will by turns become the victims; for bread you will get human carcases, and complete Slavery will be the issue." Faithfully extracted from Madame Rolland's Defence in M. S. who was assassinated by the revolutionary tribunal, 19 brumaire, or 9th November, 1793.
