Note 97 — Chapter III
Reading edition
Guy de Kersaint, after the September massacres, sent in his resignation, saying “If the love of my country has made me endure the misfortune of being the colleague of the panegyrists and promoters of the assassinations of the 2nd of September I will at least protect my memory from being their accomplice.”—“Notre Dame de Thermidor” (Arsène Houssaye).
