CHAPTER 7.XI.
Le lendemain, 8 Thermidor, Robespierre se decida a prononcer son fameux discours.
-- Thiers, "Hist.

de la Revolution." (The next day, 8th Thermidor, Robespierre resolved to deliver his celebrated discourse.) The morning rose,--the 8th of Thermidor (July 26).

Robespierre has gone to the Convention.

He has gone with his laboured speech; he has gone with his phrases of philanthropy and virtue; he has gone to single out his prey.

All his agents are prepared for his reception; the fierce St.
Just has arrived from the armies to second his courage and inflame his wrath.
