Note 30 — Chapter 36 La Tribune des Peuples—Mickiewicz and Ramon de la Sagra—The Chorus of the Revolution of June 13, 1848—Cholera in Paris—Departure

Pyat, Félix (1810-1889), a journalist, dramatic writer, and communist leader, supported Ledru-Rollin’s appeal to the French people in 1849, and on its failure escaped to Switzerland and then to London, where he was a member of the ‘European Revolutionary Committee.’ He returned to France at the amnesty of 1870, and was in 1871 one of the leaders of the Commune, on the fall of which he again escaped to London. He was condemned to death in his absence, but was again pardoned in 1880.—(Translator’s Note.)
