She responds to the tribunal, "wretches, i did not expect to appear before you - i always thought that i should be delivered up to the rage of the people, torn in pieces, & that my head, stuck on the top of a pike, would have preceded marat on his state bed, to serve as a rallying point to frenchmen, if there still are any worthy of that name. But, happen what will, if i have the honours of the guillotine, & my clay-cold remains are buried, they will soon have conferred upon them the honours of the pantheon; and my memory will be more honoured in france than that of judith in bethulia. " physical description: 1 print: etching. Notes: title continues: for having rid the world of that monster of atheism and murder, the regicide marat, whom she stabbed in a bath, where he had retired on account of a leprosy, with which heaven had begun the punishment of his crimes.
