To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dangerous as the illness was, it was merciful at such a time. The fever mounted to his brain, and for a long period he lay unconscious or wandering in his mind. In July, 1794, Eobespierre followed his rival to the scaffold, and this was the news which greeted Paine' s recovery. It was none too soon. Among Eobespierre' s papers was found a memorandum demanding ' ^ that Thomas Paine be decreed of accu- sation for the interests of America as well as of France. " Trial might not have meant death j ...but in those fraternal days prisoners had no counsel. Cases might be closed before the evidence was heard, and Robespierre's name was leaden in the scales of justice.
THOMAS PAINE 109 After the death of Eobespierre the prisons emptied rapidly ; but it was not until Morris was superseded by James Monroe that Paine' s liberation came. The new minister had brought no defi- nite instructions with him from America j but, upon receiving a memorial from the prisoner, he claimed him as a citizen of the United States, and with some difBL- culty procured his release after an in- carceration of more than ten months.
