“Of all the enemies that the Duc d’Orleans had made for himself during his revolutionary career, none was so violent or so unrelenting as the journalist Suleau. François Louis Suleau was no aristocrat, but the son of a cloth-maker, and he had thrown himself into the counter-revolutionary movement with all the ardour usually to be found only in the opposing camp . . . It was because he hated fraud and imposture, because he dreaded the misfortunes which the usurpation of the throne by the Duc d’Orleans would have brought on France, that from August of 1789 he had devoted all his talents, all his wit and untiring energy, to fighting the Orleaniste conspiracy. Careless of consequences, perpetually menaced with assassination, Suleau had continued with his pen to attack the duke - he had outraged him, threatened him, defied him in every way, before the tribunals and the justice of men, and before the judgement of God.”  From The French Revolution by Nesta H. Webster (1919).
