Burke, Edmund, 1729-1797

"The Works of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke, Vol. 03 (of 12)"

"--Tac.
Annal. lib. 14, sect. 27.--All this will be still more applicable to the
unconnected, rotatory, biennial national assemblies, in this absurd and
senseless constitution.
[123] Qualitas, Relatio, Actio, Passio, Ubi, Quando, Situs, Habitus.
[124] See l'Etat de la France, p. 363.
[125] In reality three, to reckon the provincial republican
establishments.
[126] For further elucidations upon the subject of all these judicatures
and of the Committee of Research, see M. de Calonne's work.
[127] "Comme sa Majeste a reconnu, non un systeme d'associations
particulieres, mais une reunion de volontes de tous les Francois pour la
liberte et la prosperite communes, ainsi pour le maintien de l'ordre
publique, il a pense qu'il convenoit que chaque regiment prit part a ces
fetes civiques pour multiplier les rapports, et resserrer les liens
d'union entre les citoyens et les troupes."--Lest I should not be
credited, I insert the words authorizing the troops to feast with the
popular confederacies.
[128] This war minister has since quitted the school and resigned his
office.
[129] Courrier Francois, 30 July, 1790. Assemblee Nationale, Numero 210.
[130] I see by M. Necker's account, that the national guards of Paris
have received, over and above the money levied within their own city,
about 145,000_l._ sterling out of the public treasure.
