His next occupation was more congenial to his disposition. M. D'Ormesson, one of the presidents of the Parliament of Paris, a learned and amiable man, had been appointed the Royal Librarian. He wanted an assistant, and Lavalette was recommended to him. He approved of the young man, and promised to provide for him, and this promise made his assistant completely happy. " All I had to expect through his influence, " says Lavalette, "was merely an inferior employment in the King's Library ; but I l...ooked upon that as the highest pitch of good fortune ; and often since, when in the most brilliant situations, I have sighed in thinking of the sweet obscu- rity I had been promised. " The French revolution had now, forsome time, been advancing with a constantly accelerated pace. The feel- ings of Lavalette were naturally all on the side of reform ; for the privileged classes, who had seldom if ever felt PKRIL AND SUFFERING. 171 for the people, he of course had no sympathy ; hut his better nature was shocked by the brutal excesses of those who profaned and sullied the name of liberty, by making it a pretext for indulging their sanguinary propensities ; hs could not comprehend that carrying bleeding heads upon pikes, and pillaging and burning houses, were things which must necessarily be done to render the cause of freedom victorious ; and he beheld with disgust the cowardly insults which were daily and hourly heaped upon the royal family, and especially upon the female portion of it, by an infuriated and ferocious rabble.
