"They are nothing but common artisans, painters, etc., with lively
imaginations, a little better instructed than the people, living amongst
the people and exercising influence over them."--Madame de Remusat,
I., 271 (on the royalist party): "It is very easy to deceive that party
because its starting-point is not what it is, but what it would like to

by Miot de Melito; the scenes narrated by Beugnot; the notes of Pelet de
la Lozere and by Stanislas de Girardin, and nearly the entire volume by

differences between the English and the French.)--Madame de Remusat, I.,
273, 392: "You, Frenchmen, are not in earnest about anything, except,
