as obligation had place that all pretence of obligation is
hypocrisy and mockery — and that under the forms of a mixt

that it is our desire not only that a Revolution should
be effected but that it is by the hands of an indignant
and enraged multitude that we wish to see it effected.

in every instance would be incompatible with the very
existence of the species
