This generality increased tenfold the difficulties of the problem; neither Clairaut nor D'Alembert was, however, arrested by them. Thanks to the efforts of these two eminent geometers, thanks to some essential developments due to their immediate successors, and especially to the illustrious Legendre, the theoretical determination of the figure of the earth has attained all desirable perfection.
It was but lately that one Gaston advanced with a stick in full assembly to thresh Legendre; and Cambon and Duhem are sometimes obliged to be holden by the arms and legs, to prevent their falling on Tallien and Freron.
Legendre renewed Lecointre's impeachment of Billaud, Barrere, Collot, and Vadier, who were generously defended by Carnot, Prieur, and Cambon, their former colleagues, who demanded to share their fate.
At the sight of the ribbons they forgot for a moment their pain, but unhappily, Sergeant Legendre did not long survive his injury, though Griffon recovered and was sent back to France, where I saw him some years later in Les Invalides.
"Monsieur!" he exclaimed, in a voice of thunder: the king, at this word, which was a degradation, made a movement of offended dignity; "yes, Sir," continued Legendre, with more emphasis on the word, "listen to us; you were made to listen to us! you are a traitor! you have deceived us always you deceive us again; but beware! the measure is heaped up.
To-day, at intermission, let's saunter down to the seminary, and catch a glimpse of the girls. Maybe I'll see her." "I can't; at intermission I must study my Legendre. Look at the clock now; it's late." "Bother the Legendre! you are the strangest fellow I ever saw care no more for the girls than a 'cat does for holidays. Won't you go?" "Not to-day, Le Grande. I am very busy."
It is a walled-plain, about 80 miles in length, with a border much broken on the E., and terraced within on the opposite side. There are many hills and ridges on the floor. LEGENDRE. A fine ring-plain, 46 miles in diameter, on the S.E. of the last. According to Schmidt, there is a crater on the S. side of the floor. There is a small ring-plain, ADAMS, on the S.
Let him look everywhere and burn everything." This time the information seemed so sure that Licquet started for Tournebut, which had been occupied by gendarmes for a fortnight; he took Soyer to guide him, and the commissary of police, Legendre, to make a report of the search. They arrived at Tournebut on the morning of September 5th.
Two of the men who were included in my list had just been severely wounded. Sergeant Legendre, who had killed General Koulnieff, had an arm carried away, and Corporal Griffon had a leg smashed. The injured limbs were being amputated when I went to the dressing station to give them their decorations.
I was within a few feet of Sergeant Legendre when he drove his sabre into Koulnieff's throat, and I can certify that the General fell without uttering a word. The victory achieved by General Albert's infantry and the 23rd was complete. The enemy had at least 2000 men killed or wounded and we took around 4000 prisoners. The remainder perished by falling on the sharp rocks of the river.
