At (hi:comparatively:dislant d4r, aim ' with aft
the aids of the &cording inter; we can folm aciade
quire idea of terror with which ihisgreataicial
overthrow was set about and 'accomplished. The
best minds in France were in a state of ecstasy;
.
bordering on delirium . : A vast future of human hap.
ideas seemed Tyriany, force, triad, all
the 61 passions, , wiire.to disappear under the bene
ficent approach of reason.-_limong the enthusiasts
whcPrushed into this marvellorisfnmay, vas Maxi
milian It and by his biographers,
that Eobespierre was of English . or Scotch origin;
we have seen an account . s u ch traced him to a
family rn the north .? of not a dissimilar name. His
tither, at 'elf events, unman * advocate at Aiwa's, in
French Flanders; and here Makimilian was born in
1759. Bred to the law, he was sent as representa-
tive to the States. General 1789, and from this
ment he entered on his career, and Paris was his

scarcely excited public notice. His manners were
singularly reserved, and his habits auster. The
man lived within himself. Brooding over the works
of Rousseau, he indulged 111 the . dreiii of renovat
ing the moral world. Like Mahommed contriving
the dogmas of a new relig ion, Robespierre. spent
days in solitude, pondering on his destiny. To
many of the revolutionary leaders, the struggle go
ing on was merely a political drama, with a Con
vention for the denouement. To Robespierre, it was
a 1 hilosophical problem; all his thoughts aimed it
the ideal—at the apotheosis of human nature.
Let us take a look at his personal appearance—
Visionaries am usually slovens. They despise fash
ions,'and imagine that dirtiness is an attribute of
genius. To do the honorable mernbei\ for -Artois
ja.,:tee, he was above this affectation. Small and
neat in person, he always appeared in public taste.
fully dressed, according to the fashion of the period
—hair well combed back, frizzled, and powdered ;
copious frills at the breast and serials ; a stainless
white waist cost : light-blue coat, with metal bir.
tons ; the of tie representative tied round his
waist; I eolvred breeches, white stockings, and
shoes %run ,ever buckles. Such was his ordinary
crieturrie ; and it we stick a rase in his botton-cote,
of place a nosegay in his hand, we shall have a
lorershle idea of h 3 whole.egnipment. his said
he sometimes appeared in top•boots, which is nor
improbable ; for this kind of boot bad become fash
ionable amt erg the republicarei F fiam a
in
'hat
as top boot's were worn by gentlemen in Eng„land,
the/ were allied to constitutional government. Rob
mipierie's features were sharp, and enlivened by
bright and deeply sunk blue eyelt. There was usu
ally • a gravity and intense thoughtfulness in his
countenance, which conveyed an idea of his bei'.g
thoroughly in earnest. Yet, his address was not
unpleasing. Unlike modern French politicians, his
face was always - smooth, with no vestige' of beard
or whisketa. Alio,gether, therefore, he may be said
to have been a well dressed, gentlemanly man,
animated with proper self-respect, and having no
wish to court vulgar applause by neglecting the de
cenciee of polite society.
Before .entering on his public career in- Paris,
Robespierre had probably formed his plans, in
which, at !exit to outward appearance, there was
an entire negation of sett. A stem incorruptibility
seemed the basis of his character ; and it is quite
true that no offers from the court nor ovenures from
,707:trati:ctuattit, let
asc-ociales, had power to tempt him. There was
only one way by which he could sustain a high.
souled independence, and that was the course
adopted in like circumstances bjr Andrew Marvel,
simple wants; rigorous economy, a (Hainaut of fine
company, and avoidance of expense habits.—
Now, this is the curious thing is Robespienre's his
tory. Perhaps there was a tinge of pride in his
living a Me ofindtence S but in fairness it a enti:
tied to be called an honest pride, when we ccesider
that the means of profusion were within his reach:
his arrival in Paris, ha iroeitred alio:Ole lodg
ing in the Marais, t 1 populous distriit in the north
eastern btubourgs ; but it.beirtg represented to biro
some time afterwards, that as a ?ebbe man, it was
unsafe to expose himself in a lost watt dai!Y
and from his ohzcrire residence, be removed to a
house in the Rue St. Rouore,now marked No. 35@ ;
opposite the church of the Assumption. Here he
found a lodging with M. Duplay, a respeerable but
humble cabinet-maker, who had become -attached
to the prisciptf;s of the ReVolotion; and here be
wasjoiried by his brother, who

adopted his opinions, thefneither lost the siiripCia
ty of their manners nor neglected -their religious 413;
serrances. They oonSisted,ol- a-father, mother;
son.yet a youth, and four daughters, the eldest of
whom was twenty-five, and die' youngest eight*?
ttniliar with the father; filial wiih the mothei, pa
ternal with the son, 'tender and almost brotherly
with the young girls; he" inspired and felt in this:
email domestic circle all those sentiments that only
an ardent. soul inspires and -feels by spreading
abroad . its sympathies: •Love also attached his
heart, where toil, poverty and retirement bad flied
his life. Eleonore Duplay, the eldest daughter of
his host, inspired Robespierre with a more serious
attachment than her sisters. The feeling, rather
predilection than passion, was more reasonable on
the part of Robespierre, more ardent and simple on
thb part of the young girl. This aflection afforded
him tenderness without torment, happiness without
excitement; it was the love adapted for a man
plunged all day in the agitation of public life—a
repose at the heart after a mental fatigue. He and
Eleanore lived in the same house a betrothed coup•
le, not as lovers. Robespierre•had demanded the
young girl's hand from her parents, and they bad
promised it to him.
"The total want of fortune,' he said, "and the
uncertainty of the morrow, prevented him, from
marrying her until the destiny of France was de
termined; but he only waited the moment whea t
the Retolution should be concluded, in order to re•
tire from the turmoil and suite, marry her whom he
loved, go to reside with her in Artois, on one of the
farms he had saved among the possessions of•' his
family, and there to mingle his obscure happiness
in the common lot of his family."
The vicissitudes of the forme, influence, and
popularity of Robespierre effected no change in his
s triple mode of living. The mu:titude came to im
plore favor or life at the don: of his house, yet noth.
ir 2 found its way within. The private lodging of
Robespierre consisted of a low chamber, construct
ed in the form of a garret, above some can-sheds,
with the window opening upon the roof. It afford
ed no other prospect than the interior of a small
court, resembling a wood.store, where the sound of
the worir- - en's hammers and sans constantly re
sounded, and whizh was continually traversed by
Madame Dooley and her daughters, who there per
formed all their household duties.. This chamber
was also separated from that of the landlord by a
small room common to the lain 4 and himself—
On the other side were two rooms, likewise attics,
which Were inhabited, one by the son of the mas
ter of the house, the other by Simon Doplay, Rob
espierre's secretary, and the nephew of his host.
The — Chamber of the deputy contained only a
wooden bedstead, coffered with blue damask tuna-,
mented with white. Rowers, a table, and four straw
bottomed chairs.. This apartment served him at
once for a study and dormitory. If papers, his re
ports, the manuscripts of his discourses, vrtitten.4
himself itta Fro:liar but labored hand, and with
many marks of erastire were placed carefully on
deal shiltes against,the walk A. few chosen boobs
were also ranged thereon. A-rohr.cosof Jisacjac
ques Rousseau, or of Racine, was generally open
upon his table, and amestel his philosophical and
literary predilections "
With a mini continually on the stretch, con
cemed less or more in : - .11 the great movements at
the day, the features of this remarkable personage
" relaxed into absolute gayety when indoors, at
table, or in the evening, around the wood-fire in
the humble chamber of the cabiuel-maket. His
evenings were all passed with the family, in talking
over the feelings of the Jay, the plane of the mor
row, the consiiiracieS of the aristwrats, the dangers
of the patriots, and the prospects of public. felicity
after the triumph of the revolution. Sometimes
Robespierre, who-was anxious to et:titivate the mind
of his be.trathei, read to the family ahisid, and gen.;
enilly from the tragedies of. Racine. He seldom I
went out in the evening; but two or three times a
year he mcortel Madame Duplay and Mr datigta 7
er to the theatre. 411 other days, Robespierre re
tired early to his chamber, lay doWn and rose again.
