The notorious Festival of the 20th Brumaire was a Fête of Liberty not of Reason, the mistake being due to a careless transcription in the procès-verbal of the Convention. A living representative of Liberty was chosen as less likely to tend to idolatry than an image of stone. It is not within the scope of the present work to deal with the later annals of Paris.
They rest content by at the end of the month, reporting, in a sort of proces-verbal drawn up at a meeting of the committee, that, according to returns of the visits made, very little plate was found, and only a little money in gold and silver, all without any calculation or enumeration." "Souvenirs et Journal d'un Bourgeois d'Evreux," p.93. "Did they steal anything from you?"
A little disconcerted, he tames down and is quite deferential to Madame de Cheverney. "You have pen and ink on your table," he says, "bring them here." "What for," I ask, "to take my inventory?" "No, but I must make a proces-verbal. You help me; it will be better for you, as you can fix it to suit you" This was not badly done, to conceal his want of knowledge. We go in to dinner.
A moment afterwards a servant came to introduce him into the magistrates' room. He imparted to M. de Malesherbes what I had thought it right to do with respect to the King's papers, and placed in his hands the proces-verbal of the Council, which his Majesty had preserved in order to serve, if occasion required it, for a ground of his defence.
But what he wishes me to tell you is, that the portfolio contains a 'proces-verbal' of a cabinet council, in which the King gave his opinion against the war. He had it signed by all the ministers, and, in case of a trial, he trusts that this document will be very useful to him." I asked the Queen to whom she thought I ought to commit the portfolio.
At Montbrison, "six individuals who decline to vote," are denounced in the proces-verbal of the Canton, while a deputy in the Convention demands "severe measures" against them. At Nogent-sur-Seine, three administrators, guilty of the same offense, are to be turned out of office.
The work was promised him for the morrow, before our departure; and presently after, either because he had his price, or to show that he was not the man to be behind in friendly offices, "Eh bien," he said, "je suppose qu'il faut lâcher votre camarade." And he tore up that feast of humour, the unfinished procès-verbal. Ah, if he had only torn up instead the Arethusa's roundels!
The Commissary was not, I think, a practised literary man; no sooner, at least, had he taken pen in hand and embarked on the composition of the PROCES-VERBAL, than he became distinctly more uncivil and began to show a predilection for that simplest of all forms of repartee: "You lie!"
I therefore held my tongue and determined to follow the proceedings closely, being not a little curious to observe how the judgment would be enforced. The parties had elected to have the proceedings taken in French. "Your name?" said the judge, as he studied the procès-verbal prepared by the procureur. "Jules F ." "Age?" "Cinquante-cinq." "Profession?" "Cordonnier." "Résidence?" "Rue d'Ypres 32."
This decision was taken down by Barbicane in his notebook, where he had already written the procès-verbal of the sitting of December 6th. "Now," said Nicholl, "let us attack the second question, depending on the first. I therefore ask the honourable Commission if the moon is not habitable, has it been inhabited?" "Answer, Citizen Barbicane," said Michel Ardan.
