Camille Desmoulins in its lampoon made History of the Revolution a personal business. the History of Brissotins was same style as its preceding lampoon: Jacques Pierre Brissot uncovered . Camille Desmoulins had the tough resentment against a man who had dared to question his integrity. It described Jacques Pierre Brissot like a false friend, it had misled Camille Desmoulins, republican forgery it had used of cheating against the democracy. Jacques Pierre Brissot and his Girondins friends belonged to the immense troop of the Machinistes of the Contre-révolution.

Camille Desmoulins takes again its speech of the October 21st 1791 concerning the situation of the moment, of the French revolution, Camille Desmoulins reproduces its reading in its Histoire of Brissotins , reading which it had made for two years of the revolutionary movement. The people ignored the part which he played in the drama of 1789. He thought of being an actor of foreground whereas he was only one appear used by the aristocrats, genuine high-speed motorboats of the part who was played, the noble ones had disguised himself as liberals for better berner the French. They had put on the front of the scene of the men such as Honore Gabriel Riqueti, count de Mirabeau, Fayette, Pierre Victor Malouet, Antoine Barnave, Adrien Duport, and Jerome Pétion. Through them, the nobility spoke, modified the popular movement which it gradually brought in irons and the jails of the despotism. One of the stratatagèmes of the enemies of the Revolution which had best succeeded, wrote Camille Desmoulins, had been their prudence to build certain reputations colossalement and to destroy others of them. The aristocracy had perpetually maintained a reserve rascals. When the main actor whom it had named played his part badly, it created a lining which soon replaced it. Among the aristocrats appointed to draw the strings from the puppets which it placed at the disposal of the public, was Philippe of Orleans (1747-1793) which had just been put in a state of arrest. What a addresses its share! was not pasz registered like member with the Club of the Jacobins for best the berner? Hadn't it made use of Sillery whose wife was the préceptrice of her children like agent of corruption of the deputies? Handled by the aristocrats, the Revolution had it more still by the foreigner and more particularly by the England. The Revolution of 1789 had been a arranged business between the British ministry and part of the aristocracy, arranged by one to lead a displacement of the nobility to Versailles in direction of the castles of province, by the other to produce a change of Master; by all, to give to the France two parliamentary rooms the British following the example of. One, the Upper House, would have ended up being with the orders of the political life of France.

In its History of Brissotins , Camille Desmoulins tried to prove that dice the July 17th 1791, the Jacobins suspected the treason of Jacques Pierre Brissot. Camille Desmoulins announced the attitude of Of Gironde with respect to Louis XVI of France and the Court in July and August 1792, which indicated the search for an agreement between the two parties. Camille Desmoulins showed Of Gironde collusion. He showed the Of Gironde ones to maintain the secret relations with the Prussians at the time of the Bataille of Valmy (September 20th 1792). He showed the Of Gironde ones to have to try to avoid the Procès of Louis XVI and his death sentence. He supported his charge on evidence, then he passed to another charge this one deprived of evidence, that of secret agreement with the power foreign. The fact was proven: the scélérat Brissot and its but, venal Guadet and the Roland hypocrite belonged all to the committee anglo-Prussian which had made place with the Austrian Comité create by Marie-Antoinette of Austria in 1791. The Convention was very quickly the to vomit and to send them to appear before the revolutionary Tribunal. The accusing speech of Camille Desmoulins required the imprisonment and the setting in judgment of the Of Gironde ones.

Camille Desmoulins T it carried out that its Histoire of Brissotins would send the Of Gironde ones to the guillotine? The words called by Camille Desmoulins at the time of the meeting to the club of the Jacobins the May 19th 1793, let it think.
