Chapter 11

_Jardin des Tuileries_--This garden now kept in better order than under the monarchy--The newly-built house of _Véry_, the _restaurateur_--This quarter calls to mind the most remarkable events in the history of the revolution--_Place de la Concorde_--Its name is a strong contrast to the great number of victims here sacrificed --Execution of the King and Queen, _Philippe Égalité_, _Charlotte Corday_, Madame _Roland_, _Robespiere_, _cum multus aliis_ --Unexampled dispatch introduced in putting persons to death by means of the guillotine--_Guillotin_, the inventor or improver of this instrument, dies of grief--Little impression left on the mind of the spectators of these sanguinary scenes--Lord _Cornwallis_ arrives in Paris.
