The history of France in 1792 has been too fully1 written, and too generally read to leave the novelist any excuse for describing the state of Paris at the close of the summer of that year. It is known to every one that the palace of Louis XVI was sacked on the 10th of August. That he himself with his family took refuge in the National Assembly, and that he was taken thence to the prison of the Temple.
The doings on the fatal 10th of August, and the few following days had, however, various effects in Paris, all of which we do not clearly trace in history. We well know how the Mountain became powerful from that day; that from that day Marat ceased to shun2 the light, and Danton to curb3 the licence of his tongue that then, patriotism4 in France began to totter5, and that, from that time, Paris ceased to be a fitting abode6 for aught that was virtuous7, innocent, or high-minded; but the steady march of history cannot stop to let us see the various lights in which the inhabitants of Paris regarded the loss of a King, and the commencement of the first French Republic.
The Assembly, though it had not contemplated8 the dethronement of the King, acquiesced9 in it; and acted as it would have done, had the establishment of a republic been decreed by a majority of its members. The municipality had determined11 that the King should fall, and, of course, rejoiced in the success of its work; and history plainly marking the acquiescence
