Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Reign of Terror, Vol. 1: A Collection of Authentic Narratives of the Horrors Committed by the Revolutionary Government of France Under Marat and Robespieere Written by Eye-Witnesses of the Scenes
Partial details of the horrors committed have frequently been laid before the public; but this is the only work in which is completely embodied that mass of crime which stands without a parallel in the annals of the world.
Who has not heard of the massacres in the prisons of the zud and 3rd of September, where upwards of twelve thousand innocent victims, for the most part persons of the highest respectability, were inhumanly butchered by order' of the committees which were then at the head of affairs? Yet these horrors were, if possible, surpassed in the provinces, where the natives rivalled in zeal the sans-culottas of Paris.
