112 CAMILLE DESMOULINS.
Saturday, with an engraving whicTi generally repre- sented a caricature. The author, in accordance with the title of "Revolutions of Brabant, " alludes to the revolutionary feeling which was commencing to make itself manifest in the provinces of Belgium. He dwells on all that is most likely to arouse the curiosity of the French. " Every publication, " he remarks in his pro- spectus, " from t...he book in folio to the pamphlet ; all the play-houses from Charles the Ninth's Theatre to the Punch-and-Judy show ; every corporation, from the Parliament to the Fraternities ; every citizen, from the President of the National Assembly, who represents the legislative power, to Monsieur Sanson, representative of the executive jpower^ — all these, I say, will be submitted to our weekly review.
