And now Imagine France given over to
the garrulous convention, in which there
was not a man who clearly knew what he
waited save this one, Mara,- Forty eight
years old at this date, Marat was less than
FIVE leet high, and had a head enormously
sproportioRate to the size of bis body
The upper part Of bis face was handsome,
b the lower part. b'ginniag With the
nose, was that Ct a wild beast: The nose
was fat and large, with nostrils aat
qnivered the mouth huge, and flied with
black, Jagged teeth I; the chin square, and
generally il-shayed, covered with a stub
ble Of several days growth Naturally IN
clean in his person, Marat cultivated sloven
Illness for the purpose of insr ring great
confidence to the the dregs Of the pcpulace.
He seldom wore a hat, bIs covered his
head with a twisted handkerchief red,
yellow, and greasy. His linen was worse
tan dingy. his shoes gless, and stock
irgs torn and down at heel, and his brown
cent covered with stains, ink splashes, and
fake of dried mud. 10 constant terror Of
his lie he never ventured out alone, bat
was always afforded by tatter-a mob Of
ruftans WHO called themselves his body
guard, and piled cudgels about them to
clear passage through the street crowds.
Women whea they saw him trembied and
turned their heads aside, children ran away
from i'm at the convention house lis
entrance WIS the signal for a gen eral silence
and often fer dispersion of half the mem
b.rs present. Marat, who was eaten up
with bilious vanity, gloried IN the universal
pulson which he excited, and be had
grim, Vicious way of sniling when, fxrg
bis eye on auv M nsber whom.he disliked,
he saw the man tarn pale and crouch.
Such was the man who By means of al! the
scum Of Paris kept the convention IL terror,
and through it governed France.
His fr,t care was to get The guliiDtlne
set up as n pernanency- Soldiers wear
swords in peace and war, he wrote,
