Excerpt from The Revolutionary Plutarch, Vol. 1 of 3: Exhibiting the Most Distinguished Characters, Literary, Military, and Political, in the Recent Annals of the French Republic, the Greater Part From the Original Information of a Gentleman Resident at Paris
On a review of those barbarous and debased rebels who have hitherto been held up by anarchists and demagogues as examples of Virtue and valour, the mind recoils 'at the hideous prospect which they present; and after an always afflicting, and often disgusting, investi gation of incontrovertible truths and po sitive facts, turns with horror from a picture, strikingly, yet faithfully descrip-i tive of the temporaryltriump'h of vice, infamy, and ferocity.
