Note 87 — Chapter LXXXIV
Reading edition
The following letter appeared in the Journal des Débats of the 7th October:—"Sir, I have been for more than a month in the country, eleven leagues from Paris. On my return to the capital, I learn that there has been circulated, in my name, a pamphlet, entitled, 'Memorial addressed to the King,' &c. I declare, that the Memorial has become printed without my consent, and contrary to my intention.—Carnot." This statement is gravely repeated in the Edinburgh Review, vol. xxiv., p. 187.
