Excerpt from Napoleon
Had been assembled at Versailles since May, and on the loth of June the Abbe Sieyes, the leader of the Third Estate, had called upon its representatives to constitute themselves the government of the country. It seems natural to suppose that it was the news of this event, rightly regarded as the real beginning of the Revolution, that moved the young officer, who in his garrison at Auxonne must have been following the course of affairs at Versailles more keenly than any Frenchman, to the penning of his letter.
