In the Fifth Dialogue, Dolmance produces a pamphlet entitled "Frenchmen, Some More Effort if You Wish to Become Republicans," which the Chevalier de Mirvel reads. The unnamed author of this pamphlet advocates the abolition of the Christian god and the institution of marriage. He argues that the Republican has no duty either to God, his fellow man, or himself. As such, blasphemy, rape, murder, incest, theft, and suicide are all permissible in the eyes of Republican Law. The unnamed author never appears in person in the boudoir.
