This sort of man aims at dominion, and his means are the words he always has in his mouth, "L'égalité naturelle des hommes, et la souveraineté du peuple."

Meanwhile the poor old maire, who had been an employe in the stormy days of the revolution, and also under Napoleon, and who full concurred with Swift that "a crowd is a mob, if composed even of bishops," firmly believed that the uproar beneath in the street was the announcement of a new change of affairs at Paris, determined to be early in the field, and shouted therefore with all his lungs "vive le peuple" "Vive la charte" "A bas les autres."
