Paris in 1789-94

As the preface says, this is not a history of the Revolution, but a picture of life in Paris under it. It does not treat the history of the National Convention, but it lists various delegations to it;the Commune; the reception of Monroe as American minister; the events of the first half of 1794; love-letters of a revolutionary journalist, Madame Roland, and the emigres; the British in Paris; the promised letters of the convicted; the fall of Rovespierre; and the fate of the Committee of Public Safety. Appendices on the profanation of tombs, the Revolutionary Calendar; showing that certain revolutionary phrases were not originial with the men associated with them; and the errors in Carlyle's history.
