Immediately after the signature of this treaty, the arsenal, the library, and the Palace of St. Marc, were ransacked and plundered, and heavy additional contributions were imposed...
Страница 150 - Jacobin has abjured; every thing that a sincere and faithful royalist must feel as an insult. If he is opposed at any time in his career, what is his appeal? He appeals to his fortune; in other words, to his army and his sword.
