Assembly served under the Jacobin Club while keeping up a counterfeit
air of independence. The progress which fear had made in the French
character was very great, at a time when everything was pitched in the
haughtiest key... The majority, as far as intentions go, was for the
conservatives; the actual majority was for the republicans."]

June, 1792, on a motion unexpectedly proposed by Condorcet, that the
departments be authorized to burn all titles (to nobility) in the

[Footnote 2241: Later Stalin and his successors should invest the United
Nations and other international organizations to indirectly propose and
ensure the acceptance of a new convention of human rights, children's
rights, the rights of refugees etc. In many cases these became the
base of national legislation which is now giving trouble to many of the
Western democracies. (SR).]
