Enough shame and cowardice, enough abasement and infamy!... Citizens! Rise up en masse... What will they be able to do against the whole country standing up?... To arms ! All iron is good to forge some! Let those who have guns melt bullets! Wherever guns are lacking, arm yourselves with spears... When the reapers have guns, the women and children will take their scythes... To work the smiths! Make us weapons! The hideous leprosy of invasion still spreads and devours us! TO THE ARMS!" - Impr. Montdidier, Typ. Mérot - Cupboard (54 x 45) Condition B+
