[14] Foulon was a contractor, who, odious to the populace, was compelled to fly from Paris, but being discovered, was brought back, and eventually murdered by the mob in July 1789.  Berthier was his son-in-law, and also incurring the displeasure of the people, was a few days later stabbed by a hundred bayonets whilst on his way to prison.—­H.  T. R.

  “Hail mighty triumph!—­enter these our walls! 
     Restore those soldiers, heroes of the day
   When fell Desilles, pierced by their murderous balls,
     And blood of citizens bedew’d the clay!”

[17] In Michelet’s History of the French Revolution, publishing contemporaneously with this work, the author acquits the Duc d’Orleans of any participation in the riots and bloodshed at Versailles, on the 4th and 5th of October; but says, page 280., “Depositions prove that he was seen every where between Paris and Versailles, but that he did nothing.  Between eight and nine o’clock in the morning of the 6th, so soon after the massacre that the court of the castle was still stained with blood, he went and showed himself to the people, with an enormous cockade in his hat, laughing, and flourishing a switch in his hand.”—­Standard Library.—­H.  T. R.

[18] This passage is somewhat obscure in the original:  “Dumouriez se trouva la genie d’une circonstance cache sous l’habit d’un aventurier.” We trust we have caught its spirit.—­H.  T. H.

[19] Madame Du Barry was the favourite mistress of Louis XV., and her brother, as he was called, the Count Jean du Barry, had the king’s patronage, and preyed on the public to a great extent, to supply his low habits and expensive tastes.—­Translator.

[20] The club of the Feuillants, of which La Fayette was the leading member, was formed after the 17th July, 1791.  It consisted principally of Royalists, and was soon dissolved.—­H.  T. R.

[21] The Marseillais trace their origin to a colony of Phocians in the 1st year of the 43d Olympiad, 599 years B.C.  It was the Massilia of the Romans, and called by Cicero the “mistress of Gaul,” and by Pliny, the “mistress of education.”—­H.  T. R.
