Feuillants. The convent of the Feuillants was situated

on the edge of the garden of the Tuileries, where now stands the Hôtel Continental, and from which one of the tenaces of the garden is still named. The Feuillants were called to Paris in 1587, by Henri III., and belonged to the reformed order of Cistercians. The name was given them from the mother abbey of Notre-Dame de Feuillans, in the south of France. During the early part of the Révolution, the convent of the Feuillants was the seat of a club of moderate royalists, of whom Lafayette and Bailly were the most prominent.

15. Logographe. The box or gallery where the king and royal family took refuge was intended for the use of a journal which gave an account of the proceedings of the Assembly, and was called the Journal Logographique, or Logotachy graphe (the last name from employing a certain method of rapid writing) ; and, finally, from a combination of the two names Logographe.
