Lazard Nicholas Marguerite Carnot, one of the military leader of Revolutionary France, is rather an unfamiliar figure. What makes a problem of Carnot may be the role he played in the military administration of Revolution and the ideal of revolution he held. To clarify this point it is considered the most adequate to study the task he achieved as a political commissary of attached to an army corps that he was for a year. From this point of view I have examined Carnot's activity in the Camp of Soisson, Rhin Corps and Nord Corps,and revealed how he contributed to the organization of the military system of Revolutionary France in the transitional period up to the establishment of the Great Revolution Government, how in the light of the ideal of revolution his political ideal was inclined to conservatism and how he lacked adequate understanding of the ideal of socialism. These facts, I think, may explain why Carnot could not become more than a mere military leader instead of becoming a direct promoter of the popular revolution.
