In Ventose, year X. (March, 1802), the most energetic of the tribunes were dismissed by a simple operation of the senate. The tribunate was reduced to eighty members, and the legislative body underwent a similar purgation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
