His rights cannot be established by possession from time immemorial, nor by innumerable and regular acquittances; he must produce the act of enfeoffment which is many centuries old, the lease which has never, perhaps, been written out, the primitive title already rare in 1720, [2229] and since stolen or burnt in the recent jacqueries: otherwise he is despoiled without indemnity. ❋ Hippolyte Taine (1860)
Robespierre from the rostrum [1107] excuses jacqueries, refuses to call castle-burners brigands, and justifies the insurgents of Soissons, ❋ Hippolyte Taine (1860)
