 We will now jump over a space of nearly three months, and leaving the ch芒teaux of royalist La Vend茅e, plunge1 for a short while into the heart of republican Paris. In the Rue2 St. Honor茅 lived a cabinet-maker, named Duplay, and in his house lodged3 Maximilian Robespierre, the leading spirit in the latter and more terrible days of the Revolution. The time now spoken of was the beginning of October, 1793; and at no period did the popularity and power of that remarkable5 man stand higher.
 
The whole government was then vested in the Committee of Public Safety—a committee consisting of twelve persons, members of the Convention, all of course ultra-democrats, over the majority of whom Robespierre exercised a direct control. No despot ever endured ruled with so absolute and stringent6 a dominion7 as that under which this body of men held the French nation. The revolutionary tribunal was now established in all its horror and all its force. A law was passed by the Convention, in September, which decreed that all suspected people should be arrested and brought before this tribunal; that nobles, lawyers, bankers, priests, men of property, and strangers in the land, should be suspected unless known to be acting8 friends and adherents9 of the ultra-revolutionary party; that the punishment of such persons should be death; and that the members of any revolutionary tribunal which had omitted to condemn10 any suspected person, should themselves be tried, and punished by death. Such was the law by which the Reign11 of Terror was organized and rendered possible.
