Book Description
Excerpt from Autobiography a Collection of the Most Instructive and Amusing Lives Ever Published Written by the Parties Themselves, Vol. 26: With Brief Introductions, and Compendious Sequels Carrying on the Narrative to the Death of Each Writer After the dangers I had undergone whilst remaining with Roman and his band, some idea may be formed of the joy which I experienced on quitting them. It was evident that the government, once determinately settled, would adopt the most efficacious measures for ensuring the safety of the interior. The remains of the bands, which, under the name of "Chevaliers du Soleil, or the Compagnie de Jesus," owed their formation to a political re-action, deferred indefinitely, could not fail to be destroyed as soon as was desired. The only honest excuse for their brigandage - royalism - no longer existed; and although Hiver, Lepretre, Boulanger, Bastide, Jansein, and other 'sons of the family, ' made a boast of attacking the couriers, because they found their profit in it, it began to be no longer in good taste to think that it was quite correct to appropriate to oneself the money of the state. All the incroyables who had thought it a service to check, pistol in hand, the circulation of dispatches and the collection of the imposts, withdrew now to their fire-sides, and those who had profited by their exertions, or wished for other reasons to be forgotten, betook themselves to a distance from the scene of their exploits.
