＇32＇ Michelet； （1798…1874）； 〃Histoire de la Révolution；〃 V。； preface
XXX （3rd ed。）。 〃When I was young and looking for a job； I was
referred to an esteemed Review； to a well…known philanthropist；
devoted to education； to the people； and to the welfare of humanity。
I found a very small man of a melancholic； mild and tame aspect。 We
were in front of the fire； on which he fixed his eyes without looking
at me。 He talked a long time； in a didactic； monotonous tone of
voice。 I felt ill at ease and sick at heart； and got away as soon as
I could。 It was this little man； I afterwards learned； who hunted
down the Girondists； and had them guillotined； and which he
accomplished at the age of twenty。〃 … This man's name was Julien de la
Dr？me。 I （Taine） saw him once when quite young。 He is well known；
first； through his correspondence； and next； by his mother's diary。
（〃Journal d'une bourgeoise pendant la Revolution；〃 ed。 Locroy。） … We
have a sketch of David （〃La Demagogie à Paris en 1793；〃 by Dauban； a
fac…simile at the beginning of the volume）； representing Queen Marie
Antoinette led to execution。 Madame Julien was at a window along with
David looking at the funeral convoy； whilst he made the drawing。 …
Madame Julien writes in her 〃Journal；〃 September 3； 1792： 〃To attain
this end we must will the means。 No barbarous humanity！ The people
are aroused； the people are avenging the crimes of the past three
years。〃 … Her son； a sort of raw； sentimental Puritan； fond of
bloodshed； was one of Robespierre's most active agents。 He remembered
what he had done； as is evident by Michelet's narrative； and cast his
eyes down； well knowing that his present philanthropy could not
annihilate past acts。
