Pallas, 'Spicilegia Zoolog. fasc. xiii. 1799, p. 24; Desmoulins, 'Dict. Class. d'Hist. In most cases, when only the male emits a strong odour during the breeding- season, it probably serves to excite or allure the female.
He had to pronounce upon the fate of nearly two thousand accused, among whom were Marie-Antoinette, the Girondists, Danton, Hebert, &c. He had all the suspects brought before him executed, and did not scruple to betray his former protectors. As soon as one of them fell into his power Camille Desmoulins, Danton, or another he would plead against him.

Camille Desmoulins attacked Hébert in successive numbers of a journal that is perhaps the one truly literary monument of this stage of the revolution. Hébert retaliated by impugning the patriotism of Desmoulins in the Club, and the unfortunate wit, notwithstanding the efforts of Robespierre on his behalf, was for a while turned out of the sacred precincts.

Paine saw them all Ronsin, Hebert, Momoro, Chaumette, Clootz, Gobel, the crazy and the vile, mingled together, the very men he had cursed in his garden at St. Denis pass before him like the shadows of a magic-lantern, entering at one side and gliding out at the other, to death. A few days later came Danton, Camille, Desmoulins, and the few who remained of the moderate party.
Clement's church again in the afternoon, and then returned and drank tea and coffee in Mrs. Williams's room; Mrs. Desmoulins doing the honours of the tea-table.

He praised the late Mr. Duncombe, of Canterbury, as a pleasing man.
The constitutional monarchists had almost disappeared. The Gironde and the Mountain, extreme parties, consisted of about a hundred members apiece, who successively became leaders. In the Mountain were the most advanced members: Couthon, Herault de Sechelles, Danton, Camille Desmoulins, Marat, Collot d'Herbois, Billaud-Varennes, Barras, Saint-Just, Fouche, Tallien, Carrier, Robespierre, &c.
