| Lettering note |
Lettering continues: "Is this a triumph to be consecrated at altars? to be commemorated with grateful thanksgiving! to be offered to the divine humanity with fervent prayer & enthussiastick ejaculation? - These Theban & Thracian orgies, acted in France, and appauded only in the Old Jewry. Vide Reflections on the revolution page 107." |
