though one-sided and anti-Dantonist, is a mine of information and delightful reading; to M. Sorel's 'L'Europe et la Révolution Française; to M. Claretie's 'Camille Desmoulins' to M. Dubost's Une Page d'Histoire' and his Danton et la Politique Contemporaine;' to M. Aulard's Etudes et Leçons sur la Révolution Française ' and his Danton;' to G. Lenox's Danton;' and to the recent edition of Arthur Young's Travels' by Miss Betham-Edwards, who has kindly furnished the photographs reproduced in these pages. The English History which I have found most useful is Mr. Morse Stephens's French Revolution,' unfortunately unconcluded. His 'Orators of the French Revolution,' with its numerous little biographies, has been very helpful.

For quotations from Danton's speeches other than those reported in the Moniteur, and for notices in contemporary journals, I have mainly relied on M. Bougeart's 'Danton.' References to other authorities-historians, essayists, memoir-writers, &c.-do not call for special mention.
