Propaganda document: A Parisian's Reply to Big Bertha

Lavisse was a patriotic historian working on behalf of anti-German propaganda efforts. Here, he exhorts his fellow Parisians tokeep their resolve facing Big Bertha by reminding them of the courage shown by the capital's population during the siege of 1870 under even more critical conditions.
