1792. (CHARLOTTE). "Proclamation of the PROVISIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF THE FRENCH NATION. August 25, 1792, Year 4 of Liberty, the 1st of Equality.". "The despotism wounded in '89 had soon risen up; covered with the constitutional mask he conspired:... We, however, invested with the exercise of executive power by the vote of the National Assembly, which alone today represents the French People, ... we strive to fulfil the duties that its confidence imposes on us.... Yes, should we perish fighting for freedom, we will at least carry with us this consoling thought, that sooner or later the efforts of the most magnanimous of peoples will annihilate all obstacles & all tyrants". The Provisional Executive Council: ROLAND, SERAN, CLAVIERE, DANTON, MONGE, LEBRUN. Printed in ANGOULÈME, at BARGEAS, Imprimeur du Département, rue Genêve N°418, 1792. Cupboard (45 x 35) State A.
