 SIR, 
 
 With the defign of fervi

 myfelf of your Royal Highnefs's permiffion 
 to dedicate to you the tranflation of a work, 
 which, as a faithful narrative of events, wants 
 no additional comment to make it intereftins:. 
 A detail of fa6ls , in which your Royal High- 
 nefs, in behalf of your country, has been fo 
 honourably engaged, may not prove unwel- 
 come in aid of recolle6lion ^ and a detail of 
 fa6ls, built on the experimental horrors of

 the wildnefs of theory to the madnefs of 
 pradlice-. has fwept away every veftige of civil 
 polity, and would foon leave neither law nor 
 religion in the world, cannot, either in point 
 of inflru6lion or warning, be unfeafonably 
 laid before my fellow-citizens at large. " 
 
 Under the fan6lion, therefore, Sir, of your 
 illuftrious name, I willingly commit to them 
 this memorial. And if an innocent vi6lim 
 of oppreffion fliould thus derive a fmall, 
 though painful, fubfiftence from a plain and 
 publick recital of his country's crimes, I fhall 
 be abundantly repaid for the little fhare I 
 may have had in bringing it into notice; 
 and by the opportunity it affords me of fub- 
 fcribing myfelf

 PREFACE. 
 
 ' X HE following flieets contiiin a journal of the 
 principal events of the French Revolution. The 
 beil authorities have been reforted to, and the fa^s 
 are related without any comment. The reader will 
 find a faithful outline of an intereftin^ and momen- 
 tons peri6d of hiilory, and will fee how naturally 
 each error produced its correfponding misfortune. 
 
 Various caufes contributed to efFe£l a revolution 
 in the minds of Frenchmen, and led the way to a 
 revolution in the flate. The arbitrary nature of the 
 government had been long fubmitted to, and perhaps 
 would have continued fo much longer, if France had 
 ^not taken part in the American war. 
 
 The perfidious policy of VEROENNiiS, who, with 
 a view of humbling the pride of Enghmd, affifted the 
 fubjeft in arms againft his Sovereign, foon imported 
 into his own nation the feeds of liberty, which it had 
 ■helped to cultivate in a country of rebellion ; and 
 the crown of France, as I once heard it emphatically 
 .obferved, was loft in the plains of America. 
 
 The
 
 In the mean time, that fpirit of difcuiTing philofo^ 
 phical fubjefts, which we have before mentioned, 
 now fixed itfelf on politics. The people exclaimed 
 againfl: the weight of taxes, and the extravagance of 
 courtiers; they complained of peculiar exemptions 
 from the general burthens, and of grievances which 
 arofc from lettres-de-cachet, and other defpotic 
 powers of the government. 
 
 The King, defirous of yielding to the wiflies of 
 the people, recalled Monfieur Neckar to the admi- 
 niilration, and in conformity to his advice, his Ma- 
 jcfty declai-ed his refolution of convening the dates-, 
 general. But in order to regulate all matters rela- 
 tive to the meeting of this important affembly, it 
 was refolved to convoke the notables a fecond timq,. 
 Among thefe, a diverfity of opinion appeared re- 
 ipecling the comparative number of deputies to be 
 fent by the Commons, and the two other orders 5 
 the cardinal point on which the whole fuccefs of the 
 revolution eventually turned.* All the claiTes into 
 
 * The laft affembly of the ftates-general, whicli had been held in 
 France in 1614, was corapofed of 140 deputies from the order of the 
 clergy, amjng whom were five cardinals, feven archbifhops, and 47 
 bifhops; 132 representatives of the nobility; and 192 deputies from 
 the commons. The Cardinal de Joyeuse was prefident of the 
 clergy; the Baron Senecey of the nobility; and the prefident of the 
 commons was Robert MiRONjPrevot-de-Marchands, (an officer fimi- 
 br to that of mayor of Paris.) 
 
 which
 
 C si ] 
 
 tyliich the notables were divided, decided for all 
 equality of deputies, except thofe in v\^hich Monsieur 
 and the Duke of Orleans prefided. 
 
 In thefe, it was agreed that the reprefentatives of 
 the commons fliould be equal in number to thofe of 
 the other two ftates. The miniftry were of opinion 
 that this ddbble reprefentation was advifeable, and 
 perfuaded themfelves that, through their weight and 
 influence they (hould be able to prevent any mifchief 
 to be apprehended from this preponderance of the 
 tiers-etat. By their advice, the King ifTued an or- 
 dinance in January 1789, throughout the whole 
 kingdom, commanding the people to aifemble in 
 their bailiwicks, and to nominate deputies to repre- 
 fent them in the ftates-general ; viz. 300 for the 
 clergy, 300 for the nobility, and 600 for the com- 
 mons.

 The appeal of LOUIS XVL 
 
 " I OWE it to my honour, I owe it to my 
 " family, not to fubfcribe to an accufation which I 
 " have not merited. I declare therefore, that I bring 
 " an appeal tcT the nation at large from the judg- 
 " ment paiTed againft me; and I give to my defenders 
 " all necellary powers, in order that this prefent ap- 
 " peal may be inferted in the Journals of the Con- 
 " vention." 
 
 Refufed! 
 
 The Address of Monf. de Seze, o?ie of the de» 
 fenders of the King^ to the Cojivention. 
 
 " THE ratification by the French people, 
 *' which Louis demands, is the exercife of a natural 
 " and facred right which belongs to every perfon ac- 
 *' cufed; it is the right of every man, and confe- 
 " quently of Louis. If we did not prefer this claim 
 ** in his defence, it was becaufe it was not in our 
 " power to forefee that the National Convention 
 " would refolve upon judging him; or, if itdid judge 
 " him, that it would condemn him. We now learn, 
 " that the fatal decree, which condemns Louis to 
 
 " death.
 
 [230] 
 
 " death, has been carried by a majority of five votes 
 " only. Permit me, Ciii-zens, to reprefent to vou, in 
 " ihe name of humanity, in the name of that facred 
 *' principle which calls for every mitigation in fa- 
 "vour of the accufed, that this circumflance, io 
 " very extraordinary, may well engage you volun- 
 " tarily to accede to the propofed ratification. I' de- 
 '• mand it in the name of jultice, in the name of our 
 " country, in the name of humanity. Exercife your 
 " own high powers; but do not ailoniih France by 
 " the exhibition of a judgment that mull appear 
 " terrible, when the furprifing minority comes to 
 " be confidered. 
 
 " Citizens, permit me to adjure you once more 
 " in the name of Louis XVI. and to conclude with 
 •'' fuggeiling to you, whether, whilft you are con- 
 " tending for the fecurity of the nation, and its real 
 " intereft, you will not tremble, when you refle£l, 
 that the fafety of the republic, the fecurity of the 
 French empire, and the happinefs of 25 millions 
 " of people, may poflibly depend upon five votes." 
 
 
 FOURTH ArPEL NOMINAL. 
 
 THE objecl: of this fourth appeal was to know 
 whether the execution of Louis might be deferred ; 
 310 were for refpite, and 380 againfl: it. Thus, by 
 ii majority of 70 votes, it was decreed, that the fen- 
 tence againfl Louis XVL ihould be executed with- 
 out delay.
 
 [ 231 ] 
 
 THE EXECUTION OF LOUIS XVI. 
 
 2 ifl JANUARY, 1793.' 
 
 THE minlfter of juflice and the heads of the 
 adminiftrative corps, having proceeded to the Tem- 
 ple-on Sunday the 20th of January, about four in 
 the evening, cotified to Louis the warrant for his 
 execution. " I demand,*' faid the King, " a refpite 
 " of three days to prepare myfelf for appearing be- 
 " fore God. To alTift me in this work, 1 defn-e to 
 " have Mr. Edgeworth, (an Iriih clergyman) with 
 *' whom I may freely communicate. I defire that 
 " he may be fecured from all uneafmefs, or appre- 
 " henfion, on account of this charitable office which 
 " he fliall perform for me. I defire to be relieved 
 from that perpetual watch which the council-ge- 
 neral has fet over me for fome days. I demand 
 in this interval the privilege of feeing my family 
 " when I fliall defire it, and without witnefles. I 
 " could alfo wifli, that the Convention would, as 
 " fpeedily as may be, fet about determining the fate 
 " of my family, and permit them to fee each other 
 freely and comraodioufly, when they fhall think 
 proper. 
 
 " I recommend to the liberality of the nation all 
 " thofe perfons who have been attached to me. 
 " Among my penfioners there are many aged men, 
 " women, and children, who have no other means 
 « of fubfiftence." 
 
 (C 

 
 r 232 ] 
 
 Of all thefe requlfitions Louis obtained only that 
 of feeing his family without witnelTes. It was the 
 hrfl: time fince his imprifonment. The interview 
 lafled two hours. It is impoffible to exprefs the 
 horror of the moment, when he was obliged to tear 
 himfelf away from them. On his return to his apart- 
 ment, the King paffed almofh the whole of the night 
 in prayer. He then laid down and flept a few hours, 
 and early in the morning betook himfelf again to 
 prayer. 
 
 The 2 1 ft of January, at half paft eight o'clock 
 Santerre, the commandant-general, came to fignify to 
 Louis the order for his going to execution. Having 
 requefted three nynutes to fpeak' with his confeffor, 
 he then turned to Santerre, and told him that he 
 was readv to follow him. 
 
 The King croiTed the firft court of the Temple 
 on foot ; he then entered the coach of Pethion, the 
 mayor of Paris, with his Confeffor and two Gen- 
 darmes. His route lay along the Boulevards, which 
 were lined with above two hundred thouiand men in 
 arms. All the way Louis was deeply engaged in 
 reading the prayers appointed for perfons at the 
 point of death. 
 
 Being arrived at the Place de Louts XV, which 
 was the place of execution, about ten o'clock in the 
 morning, he alighted from the carriage with calm- 
 nefs, took off his clothes himfelf, remaining in his 
 white under-waiftcoat, untied his cravat, and opened 
 
 the
 
 [ 233 ]

 the collar of his (hirt ; he then threw himfelf upon 
 his knees to receive the lafl benedidion of his Con- 
 feffor, got up immediately after, and afcended the 
 fcaffold alone. At that moment his ConfelTor cried 
 out to him, " Son of St. Louis, you are going up 
 « to Heaven !"t 
 
 Far from oppofmg thofc who came to cut off his 
 hair, and bind' his hands, " Do with me," fuid he, 
 " what you will, it is the laft facrifice." He then 
 made a motion with his hand to obtain filence. — " I 
 " die perfectly innocept of all the pretended crimes 
 " laid to my charge — I forgive all thofe who have 
 " had any hand in my misfortunes, and 1 pray that 
 *' my blood may be of ufe in reftoring happinefs to 
 " France — and you, unhappy people!" 
 
 At thefe words, the unfeeling Santerre gave or- 
 ders that the drums fliould beat, crying out to the 
 King, " that he had not brought him there to de- 
 " claim, but to die." At that inftant his head was 
 fevered from his body! 
 
 The corpfe was immediately conveyed to the Mag. 
 dalene burying-ground, and thrown into a pit twelve 
 feet deep, into which a confiderable quantity of quick- 
 lime was cafl. 
 
 f Other accounts ftate, that it was when the King had juft pre- 
 pared himfelf for the flroke of the fatal Inftrument, that Monf. Edge-* 
 worth, his confefTor, called out (in the imperative) with a loud voicc^ 
 « Enfant de Saint Louis, montez au Ciel." *' Son of St. Louis, mount 
 " up to Heaven." 
 
 It

 It is faid, that after crying out, " Vive la Nation!^* 
 " Vhe la Repiihlique!^* fome voluntt;ers dipped their 
 pikes, and others their handkerchiefs, in the blood 
 of the viftim. One perfon alone had the courage to 
 cry out, Grace, and was inftantly cut down with a 
 fabre. 
 
 Thus died Louis XVL King of France and Na- 
 varre. He was born the 23d of Auguft, '1754, 
 afcended the throne the loth of May, 1774? ^"^^ 
 reigned eighteen years and three months.

 THE LAST WILL OF LOUIS XVI. 
 
 IN the name of the moft holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy 
 Ghoft, this day, the 25th of December, 1792, I, Louis X\^I. 
 by name, King of France, having been four months (hut up with 
 my family in the Tower of the Temple, at Paris, by thofe who 
 were my Jubjecis, and deprived of all communication \vhate\er, 
 even, fmce the i ith of this month, with my family; being more- 
 over involved in a trial, of which it is impoflible to forefee the 
 iiTue, on account of the paffions of men, and for which there is 
 no pretence nor motive in any c.xifling law, ha^'ing none but God 
 for witnefs to my thoughts, and to whom I can addrefs myfelf, I 
 here declare, in his prefence, my laft will and fentiments. 
 
 I leave my foul to God my creator ; I befeech him to receive it 
 in his mercy ; not to judge it according to its merits, but to thofe 
 of our Lord Jefus Chrift, who offered himfelf as a facrifice to God 
 Jiis Father for us men, unworthy of it as we are, and I more 
 than any. 
 
 I die in the faith of our holy mother the catholic, apoftolic, 
 and Roman Church, which derives her powers in an uninter- 
 rupted fucceffion from St. Peter, to whom Jefus Chrift had en- 
 truftedthem; I firmly believe and acknowledge all that is con- 
 tained in the apoftles' creed, the commandments of God, and of 
 the church ; the facraments and myfteries* fuch as the Catholic 
 Church teaches, and has always taught them : I never pretended 
 to be a judge of the different modes of explaining the dogmas 
 which divide the church of Jefus Chrift; but I have always trufted, 
 and fliall always truft, if God grants me life, to the decifions that 
 the ecclefiaftical fuperlors, together with the holy catholic church, 
 give and Ihall give, according to the difcipline of the church 
 fmce jefus Chrift. I pitv with all my heart our brethren who 
 may be in error, but I do not pretend to judge them ; nor do 
 J love them the lefs in Jefus Chrift, according to what chriftian 
 charity teaches us, and I pray God to forgive me all my fins: 
 I have fcrupuloufly fought to know them, to deteft them, and to 
 
 humble
 
 C 23<5 ] 
 
 humble myfelf in his prefence. Not being permitted to make 
 liCe of the miniftry of a catholic prieft, I pray God to receive 
 the confcilion which I have made to him of them; and above all, 
 my fincere repentance for having put my name (though againft 
 my will) to afts that may be contrary to the difcipHne and faith 
 of the catholic church, to which I have always b^en finccrely and 
 faithfully united. I pray God to accept my firm rcfolution, if 
 he grants me life, to make ule as foon as poOible of the miniilry 
 of a catholic prieft, that I may accufe myfelf of all my fins, and 
 receive the facrament of penance. I befeech all thofe whom I 
 may have inadvertently offended, (for I do not remember to have 
 knowingly given offence to any perfon) and thofe to whom I 
 may have given bad examples, or caufed fcandal, to forgive the 
 injuries they think I may have done them. 
 
 I implore all charitable perfons to join their prayers to mine, 
 to obtain from God the pardon of my fins; I, with all my heart, 
 forgive thofe who are become my enemies, although I have not 
 given them any reafon to be fo; and T befeech God to foro-ive 
 them, as well as thofe who, through a falfe or miftaken zeal, have 
 brotight many misfortunes on me. 
 
 I recommend to God, my wife and children; my fillers, my 
 aunts, my brothers, and all thofe who are attached to me, either 
 by the ties of blood, or in any other way whatever. I particu- 
 larly befeech God to caft a merciful eye on my wife, my children, 
 and my filler, who have long fuffered with me, to fupport them 
 by his grace, if they lliould happen to lofe me, and as long as 
 they remain in this periiliable world. 
 
 I recommend my children to my wife; I never doubted her 
 jnaternal tendernefs for them. I above all recommend to her to 
 make them good chrillians, and honeft people; to make them 
 confider the grandeurs of this world (if they be condemned to 
 pofiefs them) only as dangerous and periflvable poffefilons, and to 
 direft their attention to Eternity, the orAy folid and durable glory. 
 I beg of my filler to continue her tendernefs to my children, and 
 to be a mother to them, if they Ihould have the misfortune of 
 iqfing her who is fuch. I intrcat
 
 C 237 ] 
 
 I intreat my wife to forgive me all the afHi£lions fhe fufFers for 
 my fake, and the forrovvs I may have given her in the courfe of 
 our union ; as fhe may be certain that I havs no fault to find with 
 her, even where (he may think fhe has caufe to reproach herfelf. 
 
 I earneftly recommend to my children, after what they owe to 
 God, (which is the firll of all duties) to live always in harmony 
 ^vith one another, to be fubmifiive and obedient to their mother, 
 and grateful to her for all the care and trouble (he takes for them 
 out of regard to my memory. I defire them to confider my filler 
 as their fecond moRier. 
 
 I recommend to my Son, if he has the misfortune to become 
 Ring, to remember that he owes himfelf entirely to his fellow- 
 citizens ; that he muft forget all hatred and refentment, and par- 
 ticularly all that relates to the misfortunes and afflidions that I 
 endure; that he can only make the people happy by reigning 
 according to the laws, but at the fame time, that a King cannot 
 make himfelf refpedled, and do all the good he wifhes, without 
 having the neceffary authority; and that otherwife, being reftraincd 
 in his operations, and not infpiring refpeft, he is rather hurtful 
 than ufeful. 
 
 I recommend to my fon to take as much care of all thof^ per- 
 fons who were attaclied to me, as the circumftances he may be 
 in will allow him; to recollcft that it is a facred debt which I 
 have contracted towards the children or the relations of thofe who 
 have died for me, and thofe who fufFer for my fake. I know that 
 there are feveral perfons among tliofe who ought to hav^e been at- 
 tached to me, who have not afled towards mc as they ought, and 
 have even been ungrateful towards me; but I forgive them,, (often 
 in time of trouble and confufion, men are not mafters of them- 
 felves) and I beg my fon, if he finds the opportunity, to think 
 only of their misfortunes. 
 
 I wi(h I could here give a teftimony of my gratitude to thofe 
 •who have fl"ievvn a true and difinterefted afteftion for me. If, or^ 
 the one hand, I have been fenfibly afFeftcd with the ingratitude 
 and didoyalty of tho/e, to whom I had fnewn at all times only 
 
 kindncf^
 
 i: 238 ] 
 
 klndnefs — to them, tliclr relations, or friends; on the other hand, 
 T have had the confolation to receive proofs of difinterefted af- 
 fedlion and regard from feveral others. 1 beg them to accept my 
 beft thanks. 
 
 In the prefent ftate of things, I fliould fear to expofe them if I 
 fpoke more explicitly ; bat I particularly recommend to my fon 
 to embrace every opportunity of difcovering them. 
 
 Nevcrthelefs, I think T fhould wrong the national feeling, if I 
 were not openly to recommend to my fon Mcflicurs De Chamilly 
 and Hue, whofe fincere affection for me induced them to fhut 
 themfelves up with me in this melancholy abode, and who ran 
 the ril^que of being the mifortunate victims of their attachment. 
 I alfo recommend Cleri, with whofe attentions I have had all 
 reafons to be fatisfied ever fmce he has been with me. As he is 
 the perfon who has remained with me to the laft, I requell Meflieurs 
 de la Commune to give him my clothes, my books, and the other 
 trifles which hare been depofited at the Council of the Commune. 
 
 I alfo very willinglv forgive thofe who guarded me, for their ill 
 treatment, and the conllraint which they thought neceflary to keep 
 me under. I have found fome feeling and compafiionate minds ; 
 may thev enjoy in their hearts the pleafure that their turn of think- 
 iup muft afford them. 
 
 - I requefl: Meffieurs De Malflicrbes, Trcnchet, and De Seze, to 
 receive my beft thanks, and affurances of my gratitude for all 
 the care and attention they have (hewn me. 
 
 I conclude with declaring before God, being ready to appear 
 before him, that I cannot reproach myfelf with any of thofe crimes 
 that have been laid to my charge.
