The French National Assembly at Versailles, upon the recovery of Paris from that carnival of democratic insanity, resolved that the veteran statesman's house should be rebuilt at the public cost; and the work

Newspaper cartoon of the Rebecca Riots Document: The Welsh Rioters, Illustrated London News, 11 February 1843. Catalogue ref: ZPER 34/2 Description: This is a newspaper cartoon of the Rebecca riots, a series of protests that started in May 1839. They took place in the rural parts of west Wales, including Pembrokeshire, Cardiganshire, and Carmarthenshire, from 1839-1843. They were started by tenant farmers protesting against the payment of tolls (fees) charged to use the roads. Turnpike Trusts, or groups of businessmen, owned most of the main roads. These men fixed the charges and decided how many tollgates (turnpikes) could be built. During the riots, men disguised as women attacked the tollgates. They called themselves Rebecca and her daughters. This is most likely to be after a passage in the Bible where Rebecca talks of the need to possess the gates of those who hate them (Genesis XXIV, verse 60). People at that time knew the Bible well. This cartoon, titled The Welsh Rioters, comes
