Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs and Correspondence of Mallet Du Pan, Illustrative of the History of the French Revolution, Vol. 2 of 2
This committee exercises the dictatorship in all its extent: it makes plans and executes them; the ministers are nothing better than its clerks, the Convention but a machine for issuing decrees sanctioning the decisions of this council. It exercises the sovereign disposal of armies, generals, the public funds, the revolutionary tribunals, the subordinate authorities, the innumerable agents of the pub lic force, capital, revenue, the real and personal property and life of every citizen; it ordains inquisitions, committees of surveillance - the same as the clubs.
