Note 16 — PROLOGUE.
Eleanor Marx Aveling translation
"We were able to unite 40,000 men by telling the National Guards that Blanqui and Flourens occupied the Hôtel-de-Ville. These two names did not fail to produce their usual effect."—Enquête sur le 18 Mars, ed. Adam, vol. ii. p. 157. "If the name of Blanqui had not been pronounced, the new elections announced by the placard of Dorian and Schœlcher would have taken place the next day."—Enquête sur le 4 Septembre, Jules Ferry, vol. i. p. 396-431.
