The next three questions refer to the following source:

The second campaign, to which Napoleon alleged they so eagerly looked forward, speedily ensued, and
hostilities were carried on with a degree of vigor which fired the enthusiasm of the army. Heaven knows
what accounts were circulated of the Russians, who, as Bonaparte solemnly stated in his proclamation, had
come from the extremity of the world. They were represented as half-naked savages, pillaging, destroying
and burning wherever they went. It was even asserted that they were cannibals, and had been seen to eat
children. In short, at that period was introduced the denomination of northern barbarians which has since been
so generally applied to the Russians. Two days after the capitulation of Ulm, Murat obtained the capitulation
of Trochtelfingen from General Yarneck, and made 10,000 prisoners, so that, without counting killed and
wounded, the Austrian army had sustained a diminution of 50,000 men after a campaign of twenty days. On
the 27th of October, the French army crossed the Inn, and thus penetrated into the Austrian territory. Salzburrg
and Branna were immediately taken. The army of Italy, under the command of Massena, was also obtaining
great advantages. On the 30th of October, that is to say, the very day on which the Grand Army took the
above-mentioned fortresses, the army of Italy, having crossed the Adige, fought a sanguinary battle at Caldiero,
and took 5,000 Austrian prisoners.

"The 9th [of June, 1789]. The business going forward at present in the pamphlet shops of Paris is incredible.
I went to the Palais Royal [where many pamphleteers' shops were located] to see what new things were
published and to procure a catalogue of all. Every hour produces something new. Thirteen came out today,
sixteen yesterday, and ninety-two last week. …

The spirit of reading political tracts, they say, spread into the provinces, so that all the presses of France are
equally employed. Nineteen out of twenty of these productions are in favor of liberty, and commonly violent
against the clergy and nobility; … but enquiring for such as had appeared on the other side of the question,
to my astonishment I find that there are but two or three that have merit enough to be known. Is it not
[surprising], that while the press teems with the most leveling and seditious principles, that if put in execution
would overturn the monarchy, nothing in reply appears, and not the least step is taken by the court to restrain
these publications?"

—Arthur Young, English writer, account of travels in France, published 1792

4. Young's account provides potential information about the origins of the French Revolution. A historian
wishing to evaluate the usefulness of his account would likely be interested in all the following questions

C. What was the typical number of copies printed per pamphlet?

D. What was the typical retail price of a pamphlet, relative to average wages?

5. Since 1699, all printed materials in France had been subject to the approval of royal censors. Young's
account most likely implies that

A. producers of pamphlets were reluctant to discuss the activities of censors for fear of having their
shops closed down.

B. coming from Britain, with its free press, Young was unfamiliar with the concept of state censorship
of books.

C. by 1789, the system of royal censorship in France had largely ceased to function as originally
intended.

D. because of the large number of titles involved, political pamphlets were not subject to the same
laws and regulations regarding censorship as books.

The Humble ADDRESS and PETITION of Thousands, who labor in the Cloth Manufactory. SHEWETH, That the
Scribbling-Machines have thrown thousands of your petitioners out of employment, whereby they are brought
into great distress, and are not able to procure a maintenance for their families, and deprived them of the
opportunity of bringing up their children to labour. We therefore hope, that the feelings of humanity will lead
those who have it in their power to prevent the use of those machines, to give every discouragement they can to
what has a tendency so prejudicial to their fellow-creatures.
