I would like to point out - though I am not sure what purpose this information serves - that volcanoes and volcano references much preoccupied the 'French revolutionary mind' (if such a thing existed). For example, members of the Convention often alleged that 'la sainte Montagne' had a force similar to that of Mount Vesuvius. Meaning: that it could, and would, erupt at any point in the direction of moderates and counter-revolutionaries. Still during the Restoration Montagnards such as M.-A. Baudot stressed the the Mountain-volcano had the potential to erupt once more!
