Excerpt from Edmee: A Tale of the French Revolution
The king and queen were put to death, and so were hundreds, nay thousands, of the nobles and gentry of the country. For the leaders of the Revolution, seeing how badly things had gone under a éaa' government, foolishly thought, like children escaping from the rule of too harsh a schoolmaster, that the only way to be truly free and happy was to have no regular government at all, but for every one to do just what he pleased, with no regard for others, no respect for the eternal laws of right and wrong - a state of things which could not but become the worst of tyrannies, for it was the tyranny of the many instead of the few.
