"The effect of this was to lead men who had any means to keep aloof from any sort of promotion." - Cf.， ibid.， II.， 131 (November， 1794，) the same order of things still kept up. By order of the representatives the army encamps during the winter in sheds on the left bank of the Rhine， near Mayence， a useless proceeding and mere literary parade. "They would listen to no reason； a fine army and well-mounted artillery were to perish with cold and hunger， for no object whatever， in quarters that might have been avoided." The details are heart-rending. Never was military heroism so sacrificed to the folly of civilian commanders.
