Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of General Lafayette, Vol. 2 of 2: With a Critical Estimate of His Character and Public In October began the second emigration, and for two years the nobility continued to oppose the progress of the Revolution by going into voluntary exile. Only an honorable few remained with the king to share his trials, or took part in the efforts of the Assembly to establish a constitutional monarchy. Abandoned by what should have been the conservative element in the community, the French people continued the work of building up a new State as different as possible from the old. The Assembly had become the sole authority in France, but its incapacity for the exercise of executive power was evident from the first. The great number of its members, the extreme disorder, lack of system, and excitability of its meetings, interfered fatally with the progress of business. Ridiculous interruptions continually took place, and silly deputations broke in on the most serious discussions with long addresses.
