This French Revolutionary pamphlet presents a scheme for a proposed new series of holidays to commemorate important events of the Revolution, as well as for three days per "décadaire" (or month) dedicated to Revolutionary and Enlightenment ideals. In addition to proposed holidays in honor of Liberty, Equality, Reason, and Truth, there were also days honoring Conjugal Fidelity, Winter and Wisdom, the Fruit of Many Years, and Universal Benevolence.
