Brissot seemed to grow with the moment, and in a memorable burst of eloquence carried the whole assembly with him. Brissot, without absolutely attacking the monarchical principle, insisted on the necessity of the King's deposition, and ended by reassuring public opinion on the dangers which threatened France from without by a luminous exposition of the critical state of Europe. Madame Roland, who was present, describes the solemnity of this meeting, "when they all, with inexpressible enthusiasm--kneeling on the ground and with drawn swords--renewed their oaths to live free or to die."
