The angle sucks, but! Here's Herault on the Hotel de Ville!
~Cut to @orpheusmori letting me drag her around the building and straining our eyes to find him, as I grew more frantic because I thought he was covered up by posters~
Saint-Just's pistol from the Carnavalet in Paris!
@qui-rault and I decided that he probably got the gold design added to it later on to make it look more "revolutionary."
The man knew how to accessorize
@quia-nominor--leo and i visited the sj bust by david d'angers at the petit palais and managed to get the plait this time!
happy pride month to all my fellow fruits who are monarchy haters.
Thinking about the signatures of Herault, Couthon, and Saint-Just, on the report on the 1793 Constitution prepared for the Convention.
I'm not joking when I say that I think about this letter Couthon sent to Saint-Just at least once a week. 'Embrace Herault' indeed.

Dard on Herault's Library
Updates from Qui live-blogs reading Dard (sort of). I might actually make this into a tag.
After Herault's death, a list of his books titled 'Notice des livres apres le deces du citoyen Herault de Sechelles' was published - as far as I am aware, this notice has not been digitized, but I do intend to figure out a way to see it in Paris.
However, Dard gives a brief summary of some of Herault's personal collection of 4000 (four thousand!!) books, as follows:
A few religious/spiritual books, including, the Bible, 'L'Annee Chretienne' (Letourneux), 'La Conduite de Noailles', 'L'Essaie de Morale' (Nicole), 'La Vie des Peres du Deserts' (Arnauld d'Andilly).
500 volumes of jurisprudence (being a lawyer myself I understand).
Greek and Roman texts both in their language and in translations by the Abbe Auger.
The works of Voltaire in 92 volumes (the edition known as "papier a la Croix").
Rousseau in 34 volumes.
Buffon in 56 volumes.
Descartes in 7 volumes.
Leibnitz (no further info).
Spinoza (no further info).
Bacon (no further info).
Locke (no further info).
Pascal (no further info).
Malebranche (no further info).
Tacitus (no further info).
Thucydides (no further info).
Complete collection of 'Memoires sur l'Histoire de France' (I cannot confirm who the author of this would have been).
'Oeuvres de Frederic II' in 15 volumes.
Montesquieu (no further info).
Raynal (no further info).
'Voyage du jeune Anacharsis en Grece' (Barthelemy).
Various volumes on physics, medicine, and mathematics
Several accounts of travel stories, especially in Italy.
80 English volumes "dans leur texte" (I'm not sure what this means, I am assuming it means that they are in English not translated).
Don Quixote (Cervantes).
Torquato Tasso (referred to as 'Le Tasse') (no further info).
Ludovico Ariosto (no further info) (translated by Mirabeau) (Dard makes awful use of commas so its not clear if translated by Mirabeau refers only to Ariosto or other works).
'LHistoire du Theatre-Francais' in 3 volumes (Demouhy).
'Administrations des Finances' in 30 volumes (Necker).
The 'erotiques aniens' and their Gallic imitators (literally no clue what this refers to).
Also, Herault apparently kept a note titled "Livres qu'il faut relire sept ou huit cent fois" but Dard gives no further information about what books were listed!

How was Saint-Just relationship with his sisters? Was it a good one?
Saint-Just was the oldest of three children, and the older brother of Louise-Marie and Marie Francoise Victoire. He was born in 1767, with his two sisters being born soon after in 1768 and 1769. According to Bernard Vinot, shortly after SJ was born in Decize, he was sent to what is essentially a foster care home in Vernueil under supervision of his mother's brother, a priest. In 1771, the young Antoine, or Léon, as his family likely referred to him as a boy, joined his parents and sisters in Nampcel, where his parents moved shortly after he was born. In 1773, the family returns to Decize. Shortly after in 1776, Saint-Just's father buys the house that is known as the Maison de Saint-Just in Blérancourt. Not much can be said of Saint-Just's relationship with his sisters in their early lives, apart from the likely squabbles and playing together that is typical of young siblings. This is because Saint-Just, when he was around 12 years old, went to the Oratorian school in Soissons, and likely only came home for holidays and school breaks. In terms of closeness to his sisters, SJ was a witness to his sister Marie Francoise's wedding in 1791, where his name is recorded as "Louis Léon."

5 pages into Dard's biography of Herault and I am taking emotional damage on each and every single page.
BUT.
Official passport description of Herault!
IF my math is correct 5 pieds 8 pouces translates to 5.6 pieds de roi which gives us Herault standing at a whopping 182 cms.
Tall Herault confirmed.

So, after spending the first part of life making acquisitions and sorting them, we'll spend the other distributing them, varying these gifts, according to the faculties and character with which we're endowed.
Chapter Three - Reading.
big if true
Choose a more horrifying concept
Hérault with Jacobin microbangs
Saint-Just in a wig
I mean, Herault with microbangs is just cute:
But the idea of Saint-Just in a wig is terrifying and Wrong.
Herault de Sechelles on the fate of Louis Capet
When discussions on the fate of Louis Capet were happening in the National Convention, Herault de Sechelles was away on mission in Mont-Blanc, along with Henri Gregoire (the Abbot Gregoire), Philibert Simond, and Gregoire Jagot. We know that these four deputies sent a letter to the Convention to express their views on the trial of Louis Capet, however, different sources argue over what the intention of the letter was, i.e. whether Herault de Sechelles should be considered a regicide.
I have been trying to find a copy of the letter itself, but have so far not been able to. However, I have found a note that Jeanbon Saint-Andre published in Le Creole Patriote No. 257 on 28 January 1793. It seems that even at the time, the intention of the letter sent by the deputies in Mont-Blanc was disputed, and Saint-Andre published an extract of a private letter he received from the four deputies with the intention of establishing the pro-Revolutionary sentiments of his colleagues. It’s not clear to me if the emphasis on the wish for the death of Louis Capet was emphasized by the four deputies, or by Saint-Andre.
Interesting to note, at least for me, that Herault is the first signature and that the letter writer starts the letter with "je" and switches to "nous". Anyway. Getting real tired of seeing pro-royalist Herault takes!
Quick translation for anyone who's brain cannot deal with French:
Some people pretend to find ambiguity in the way in which the commissioners of the Convention, in the department of Mont-Blanc, expressed their opinion on the affair of Louis Capet, in the letter they wrote on this subject to the National Convention. I believe it is my duty to justice to dissipate the clouds that have been raised over the intentions of these estimable colleagues, to publish the letter that I received from them; it will leave no doubt in people's minds. Jean-Bon-Saint-Andre, deputy for Lot.
"Dear Saint-Andre, the courier is leaving, I am taking a minute to address you preferably; your opinion on the death of the monster is well known, you have put into it the courage and constancy of a true republican. Why isn't everyone like you? We have tried to imitate you, and we are writing to the Convention our formal wish on tomorrow's deliberation. It is for the death of Louis, without appeal to the people. Do us the service of ensuring that this letter is read... Herault, Gregoire, Simon, Jagot. Chambery, January 13, 1793."
