1. From a letter in Brissot's Patriote Français, 31 October
1790.
The hair of patriots should be kept short, straight, and unpowdered: "this coiffure is the only one which is suited to republicans: being simple, economical, and requiring little time, it is carefree and so assures the independence of a person; it bears witness to a mind given to reflection, courageous enough to defy fashion." (Schama, 525).
