179018573Paris: De l'Imprimerie de L. Potier de Lille 1790. 8vo. Disbound. 19 pages. 8vo. Following Robespierre's election in 1789 a strong campagne to discredit and denigrate Robespierre in the eyes of the populace that had elected him took place. It was quite effective and Robespierre was even warned not to return to his area for fear of physical attack. This campagne was credited a great deal to Brios de Beaumetz the elder in the Council of Artois and his son also Brios de Beaumetz a member of the Assembly with Robespierre. Robespierre decided that these attacks should not go unanswered and the present pamphlet is part of the response. He was strongly attacked for a comment saying that most of the people of Artois did not pay enough taxes. This was picked up by Beaumetz and widely circulated causing great discord and greater loss of popularity. What this related to was the decision of the Assembly in October 1789 to adopt conditions for being a candidate for election or an elector and basing it upon the amount of direct tax paid by the individual. Robespierre had pointed out that only the rich in Artois paid direct taxes and the most of the population there paid duty or indirect taxes and would therefore be excluded from the electoral process. This is explained in this pamphlet which includes a letter of good conduct by other Artois delegates to the Assembly Fleury Du Buisson Boucher Payen de Croix Brassart and Charles de Lameth.

In an effort to combat atheism Robespierre and others of the National Convention scheduled a Fête de l'Être Suprême on 8 June 1794 the culmination of which was to be the symbolic destruction of the statue of Atheism by fire and the emergence of Wisdom from the remains. Unfortunately the figure of Wisdom was so badly smeared in soot that the audience laughed.

He had been elected public prosecutor of the criminal tribunal of Paris and resigned prior to taking his seat. He had spoken in March of the peaceful intentions of the Emperor Francois II attributing Emperor Leopold's demise as an act of Providence drawing severe criticism from the atheists and specific criticism from the Girondin deputy Guadet. On the 20th of April Louis XVI had proposed a declaration of war against the King of Bohemia and Hungary and the vote was carried unanimously. Robespierre was against it. Guadet attacked him denouncing him with an accusation of tyranny and Robespierre responded with his explanation of his behavior how he had done everything that he had done for the country to guarantee freedoms and establish equality how when his goals were reached he would retire into private life but how could he abandon the nation that needed him in its time of crisis. He also as usual strikes out at Lafayette. M & W IV 29526-61 De l'Imprimerie de Mayer et Compagnie unknown books
