Note 181 — Chapter I
Reading edition
Aulard, Le culte de la Raison et de l’Être suprême, pp. 17 et seq. Cf. Sloane, The French Revolution and Religious Reform, pp. 53, 79, 97. The effort to dechristianize the institutions of religion in France is admitted by both writers, but the superficial occasion of this hostile effort is made clear.
