An account of the Revolt will be found in section 4 of chapter 5 of his "Short History of the English People." The phrases in verses 3 and 5 were catchwords among the revolters. {36} After dismissing the peasants with the formally written acknowledgment of their freedom and rights, Richard II. with an army of 40,000 followers avenged himself and his lords by ruthless and prolonged massacres over the whole country. {38} Who owns, and rack-rents, some of the vilest slums in London, and is beautifully aesthetic in private life. {39a} The French. {39b} "Voe victis!" woe to the conquered--the motto of the Gauls in Rome as of the modern Civilization of Land and Capital. {44} France. {45} In Pere-la-Chaise, the famous Parisian cemetery, the Communists made a desperate stand, but were overcome and the captured ones shot.
