ferocious ambition and the blood madness de-
veloped by the Revolution. Tie son of
wealthy farmer. he trained for the law
and IN spite of some early privatons would
appear to have acquired good practice while
still young man. 1t is said that ''he pos

case, however unjust it might be, amid all the
cobWebs of chicanery," and save for indica-
tions of natural obliquity of character this
book leaves US in ignorance of the causes which
presently landed the clever young lawyer in
financial distress, practically detached from his
calling. He was in some sort social and pro-
fessional outcast when, on the fall of the old
regime, he smet his opportunity and appealed
to Camille Desmoulins to obtain post for him
somewhere IN the public service. He made his
application at the right time. The Convention
was about to give a legal form to the en-
forcement of its power, and it needed jackal

He was appointed Public Prosecutor. and the
spirit in which prodigious task was delegated
to him and to the judges and jurymen is we'll

stages of organization. The list handed TO the
Minister Of Justice was full of unknown names
and it was with difficulty that the addresses of
the men elected could be found! When thew

Jesuit-these precious defenders of the public
peace not only had butcher for their leader

the deadliest powers. M. Lenotre thus de-
scrbes the weapons with which he assumed bis
sanguinary task:

daining no fragment, no matter how trifing or
obscure it's import, that may promise to serve
his purpose, but he is not for moment to be

he weighs that evidence. and having disinter-
estedy formed an estimate of it's value he
