" to be chosen in order to prevent mischief." then in
time a few more. But a little lower we have something
more explicit. "There were also some (he says) who
"into the Convention for the purpose of mischief:" i.e. for the
purpose of doing something: for The popular interest (he continues) "predominated"
aye — this is the rub: "The popular interest altogether
"predominated, and when the Convention sat, the mass of the
people delegates acted as assemblies merely popular, even with
"note" i.e. if this mean any thing will act mischievously.
and here, memory being completely put out, imagination
pulls the reins and finds all judgement captive. At first
the assemblies of Aarmed Volunteers they were not merely popular. No
to be sure they were not all of them — for in some of them
the hu plebeians by hundreds had patricians by

By whom were they kept in it all the time? even
