every face went pale ´ R´R´R´R´R went the whole detachment�察。�and�А�

the whole crowd of gentlemen and ladies turned and cut。  Such a 

scene�  � ladies�察�gentlemen�察�and vagabonds went sprawling in the 

mud�察�not shot but tripped up�察�and those that went down could not 

rise�察�they were trampled over。 。 。 。 I ran a short time straight on 

and did not fall�察�then turned down a side street�察�ran fifty yards 

and felt tolerably safe�察�looked for papa�察�did not see him�察�so 

walked on quickly�察�giving the news as I went。'  ��It appears�察�from 

another letter�察�the boy was the first to carry word of the firing 

to the Rue St。 Honore�察�and that his news wherever he brought it was 

received with hurrahs。  It was an odd entrance upon life for a 

little English lad�察�thus to play the part of rumour in such a 

crisis of the history of France。��



'But now a new fear came over me。  I had little doubt but my papa 

was safe�察�but my fear was that he should arrive at home before me 

and tell the story�察�in that case I knew my mamma would go half mad 

with fright�察�so on I went as quick as possible。  I heard no more 

discharges。  When I got half way home�察�I found my way blocked up by 

troops。  That way or the Boulevards I must pass。  In the Boulevards 

they were fighting�察�and I was afraid all other passages might be 

blocked up 。 。 。 and I should have to sleep in a hotel in that 

case�察�and then my mamma ´ however�察�after a long DETOUR�察�I found a 

passage and ran home�察�and in our street joined papa。



'。 。 。 I'll tell you to´morrow the other facts gathered from 

newspapers and papa。 。 。 。 Tonight I have given you what I have 

seen with my own eyes an hour ago�察�and began trembling with 

excitement and fear。  If I have been too long on this one subject�察�

it is because it is yet before my eyes。





'Monday�察�24。





'It was that fire raised the people。  There was fighting all 

through the night in the Rue Notre Dame de Lorette�察�on the 

Boulevards where they had been shot at�察�and at the Porte St。 Denis。  

At ten o'clock�察�they resigned the house of the Minister of Foreign 

Affairs ��where the disastrous volley was fired�� to the people�察�who 

immediately took possession of it。  I went to school�察�but ��was�А�

hardly there when the row in that quarter commenced。  Barricades 

began to be fixed。  Everyone was very grave now�察�the EXTERNES went 

away�察�but no one came to fetch me�察�so I had to stay。  No lessons 

could go on。  A troop of armed men took possession of the 

barricades�察�so it was supposed I should have to sleep there。  The 

revolters came and asked for arms�察�but Deluc ��head´master�� is a 

National Guard�察�and he said he had only his own and he wanted them�察�

but he said he would not fire on them。  Then they asked for wine�察�

which he gave them。  They took good care not to get drunk�察�knowing 

they would not be able to fight。  They were very polite and behaved 

extremely well。



'About 12 o'clock a servant came for a boy who lived near me�察。�and�А�

Deluc thought it best to send me with him。  We heard a good deal of 

firing near�察�but did not come across any of the parties。  As we 

approached the railway�察�the barricades were no longer formed of 

palings�察�planks�察�or stones�察�but they had got all the omnibuses as 

they passed�察�sent the horses and passengers about their business�察�

and turned them over。  A double row of overturned coaches made a 

capital barricade�察�with a few paving stones。



'When I got home I found to my astonishment that in our fighting 

quarter it was much quieter。  Mamma had just been out seeing the 

troops in the Place de la Concorde�察�when suddenly the Municipal 

Guard�察�now fairly exasperated�察�prevented the National Guard from 

proceeding�察�and fired at them�察�the National Guard had come with 

their muskets not loaded�察�but at length returned the fire。  Mamma 

saw the National Guard fire。  The Municipal Guard were round the 

corner。  She was delighted for she saw no person killed�察�though 

many of the Municipals were。 。 。 。 。



'I immediately went out with my papa ��mamma had just come back with 

him�� and went to the Place de la Concorde。  There was an enormous 

quantity of troops in the Place。  Suddenly the gates of the gardens 

of the Tuileries opened�此 �we rushed forward�察�out gallopped an 

enormous number of cuirassiers�察�in the middle of which were a 

couple of low carriages�察�said first to contain the Count de Paris 

and the Duchess of Orleans�察�but afterwards they said it was the 

King and Queen�察�and then I heard he had abdicated。  I returned and 

gave the news。



'Went out again up the Boulevards。  The house of the Minister of 

Foreign Affairs was filled with people and ;HOTEL DU PEUPLE; 

written on it�察�the Boulevards were barricaded with fine old trees 

that were cut down and stretched all across the road。  We went 

through a great many little streets�察�all strongly barricaded�察�and 

sentinels of the people at the principal of them。  The streets were 

very unquiet�察�filled with armed men and women�察�for the troops had 

followed the ex´King to Neuilly and left Paris in the power of the 

people。  We met the captain of the Third Legion of the National 

Guard ��who had principally protected the people���察�badly wounded by 

a Municipal Guard�察�stretched on a litter。  He was in possession of 

his senses。  He was surrounded by a troop of men crying ;Our brave 

captain ´ we have him yet ´ he's not dead�  �VIVE LA REFORME� ─ �This 

cry was responded to by all�察�and every one saluted him as he 

passed。  I do not know if he was mortally wounded。  That Third 

Legion has behaved splendidly。



'I then returned�察�and shortly afterwards went out again to the 

garden of the Tuileries。  They were given up to the people and the 

palace was being sacked。  The people were firing blank cartridges 

to testify their joy�察�and they had a cannon on the top of the 

palace。  It was a sight to see a palace sacked and armed vagabonds 

firing out of the windows�察�and throwing shirts�察�papers�察�and dresses 

of all kinds out of the windows。  They are not rogues�察�these 

French�察�they are not stealing�察�burning�察�or doing much harm。  In the 

Tuileries they have dressed up some of the statues�察�broken some�察�

and stolen nothing but queer dresses。  I say�察�Frank�察�you must not 

hate the French�察�hate the Germans if you like。  The French laugh at 

us a little�察�and call out GODDAM in the streets�察�but to´day�察�in 

civil war�察�when they might have put a bullet through our heads�察�I 

never was insulted once。



'At present we have a provisional Government�察�consisting of Odion 

��SIC�А�Barrot�察�Lamartine�察�Marast�察�and some others�察�among them a 

common workman�察�but very intelligent。  This is a triumph of liberty 

´ rather��



'Now then�察�Frank�察�what do you think of it�拭 �I in a revolution and 

out all day。  Just think�察�what fun�  �So it was at first�察�till I was 

fired at yesterday�察�but to´day I was not frightened�察�but it turned 

me sick at heart�察�I don't know why。  There has been no great 

bloodshed�察。�though�А�I certainly have seen men's blood several 

times。  But there's something shocking to see a whole armed 

populace�察�though not furious�察�for not one single shop has been 

broken open�察�except the gunsmiths' shops�察�and most of the arms will 

probably be taken back again。  For the French have no cupidity in 

their nature�察�they don't like to steal ´ it is not in their nature。  

I shall send this letter in a day or two�察�when I am sure the post 

will go again。  I know I have been a long time writing�察�but I hope 

you will find the matter of this letter interesting�察�as coming from 

a person resident on the spot�察�though probably you don't take much 

interest in the French�察�but I can think�察�write�察�and speak on no 

other subject。





'Feb。 25。





'There is no more fighting�察�the people have conquered�察�but the 

barricades are still kept up�察�and the people are in arms�察�more than 

ever fearing some new act of treachery on the part of the ex´King。  

The fight where I was was the principal cause of the Revolution。  I 

was in little danger from the shot�察�for there was an immense crowd 

in front of me�察�though quite within gunshot。  ��By another letter�察�a 

hundred yards from the troops。�А �I wished I had stopped there。



'The Paris streets are filled with the most extraordinary crowds of 

men�察�women and children�察�ladies and gentlemen。  Every person 

joyful。  The bands of armed men are perfectly polite。  Mamma and 

aunt to´day walked through armed crowds alone�察�that were firing 

blank cartridges in all directions。  Every person made way with the 

greatest politeness�察�and one common man with a blouse�察�coming by 

accident against her immediately stopped to beg her pardon in the 

politest manner。  There are few drunken men。  The Tuileries is 

still being run over by the people�察�they only broke two things�察�a 

bust of Louis Philippe and one of Marshal Bugeaud�察�who fired on the 

people。 。 。 。 。



'I have been out all day again to´day�察�and precious tired I am。  

The Republican party seem the strongest�察�and are going about with 

red ribbons in their button´holes。 。 。 。 。



'The title of ;Mister; is abandoned�察�they say nothing but 

;Citizen�察─�and the people are shaking hands amazingly。  They have 

got to the top of the public monuments�察�and�察�mingling with bronze 

or stone statues�察�five or six make a sort of TABLEAU VIVANT�察�the 

top man holding up the red flag of the Republic�察�and right well 

they do it�察�and very picturesque they look。  I think I shall put 

this letter in the post to´morrow as we got a letter to´night。





��On Envelope。��





'M。 Lamartine has now by his eloquence conquered the whole armed 

crowd of citizens threatening to kill him if he did not immediately 

proclaim the Republic and red flag。  He said he could not yield to 

the citizens of Paris alone�察�that the whole country must be 

consulted�察�that he chose the tricolour�察�for it had followed and 

accompanied the t
