FOOTNOTES ON THE TEXT
[Footnote A: His bravery shone forth at Coethen, where he was left alone
in a group of Prussians. He fought with their chief and disarmed him. A
few days after he was named General of Brigade.--8th March 1793.]
[Footnote B: The pacification of Vendee was for a great part owing to
his valour and prudence.]
[Footnote C: Beaupuy is said to have united civic virtues with military
talents. A good son and a good brother, he showed in many a circumstance
that true valour does not exclude humanity, and that the soul can be
both strong and full of feeling.]
These notes (B and C) are taken from 'Biographic Nouvelle de
Contemporains'.
