The Uprising of June 20, iyQ2 145 



(3) Chaumette. Memoires sur la revolution du 10 aoiit, 1792, par F. 



A. Aulard, Paris, 1893. Chaumette was active in revolutionary 

 affairs from 1789 to 1794 and very influential. He was pro- 

 cureur de la commune in the latter part of 1792. He wrote his 

 memoires before the middle of 1793, for he speaks of the 

 Girondins as adversaries yet living and refers to Petion as 

 living in May, 1793. (See page 2>2-) There is one indication 

 that he may have written between Aug. 10 and Sept. 20, 1793. 

 After speaking of the action of the assembly, Aug. 10, he 

 praised it as worthy of the people it represented and expressed 

 a wish that it might never lessen its energy (p. 64).

(7) Paroy, le comte de. Memoires du comte de Paroy, souvenirs 



d'un defenseur de la famille royal pendant la revolution 

 {i78g-i7g8) . Publiees par Etienne Charavay, Paris, 1895. This 

 account was first published in 1836 by Villenave (in the Revue 

 de Paris), who owned the manuscript. After his death, Chara- 

 vay bought it. Paroy had apartments at the Tuileries. He was 

 a close observer, spent much time in the gardens, cafes, and 

 streets of Paris and in the evening gave an account to the 

 people of the court of what had happened in these places. He 

 was in the Tuileries, June 20, both in the apartments of the 

 king and of the queen, and stood guard at the king's door all 

 night (pp. 300-303). While his account is prejudiced because 

 of his enmity to the revolution, it has much valuable material 

 of a personal character. See the introduction by Charavay. 



(8) Roederer, P. L. Chronique de cinquante jours du 20 juin au 10 



aout, Paris, 1832. While Roederer was an actor in some of the 

 events of June 20, there is little in his account drawn from his 

 own independent recollections. He wrote at least thirty years 

 after the death of Louis XVI. (See paragraph one of his intro- 

 duction in which he speaks of France having been under two 

 different regimes of fifteen years each since that event.) He 

 made use of the published documents accessible when he wrote, 

 reconstructing the events of June 20 as the historian who has 

 no first hand knowledge of an event is forced to do.
