A list of puns related to "Louis Antoine De Bougainville"
I have an English translation of "Adventure in the Wildernes: the Amercian Journals of Louis Antoine de Bougainville" and I have used google translate to translate the "Journal du Marquis de Montcalm Durant Ses Campagnes en Canada"On some dates in the journals the content is identical.I know that Bougainville was Aide de camp to Montcalm - is this why the entries are identical? because Bougainville wrote the journals of Montcalm? The Montcalm journal has a forward which suggests that Bougainville wrote portions of it.If I am quoting the from the journals on dates where the text is identical, would it be accurate to cite whichever journal I choose?Thank you for your responses
(...) All these reasons should lead you to judge Louis not as a citizen, but as a rebel. By what right, moreover, would he require us to judge him in civil law, on account of our obligation toward him, when it is clear that he himself betrayed the only obligation that he had undertaken towards us, that of our protection? Is this not the last act of a tyrant, to demand to be judged in conformity with the laws that he destroyed? For myself, I can see no middle course: this man must reign or die.
Let us respect the king no longer. He oppressed a free nation; he declared himself its enemy; he abused its laws; he must die to assure the tranquility of the people, since to assure his own, he in-tended that the people be crushed. Did he not review the troops before combat? Did he not take flight rather than halt their fire? What steps did he take to quell the fury of the soldiers?
The suggestion is made that you judge him as a citizen, whereas you recognize that he was not a citizen, and that, far from protecting the people, he had them sacrificed to himself. I will say more: a Constitution accepted by a king did not bind citizens; they had, even before his crime, the right to proscribe him and to send him into exile. To judge a king as a citizen, that will astound a dispassionate posterity.
To judge is to apply the law; law supposes a common share in justice; and what justice can be common to humanity and kings? What has Louis in common with the French people that they should treat him well after he betrayed them? A man of great spirit might say, in another age, that a king should be accused, not for the crimes of his administration, but for the crime of having been king, as that is an usurpation which nothing on earth can justify. With whatever illusions, whatever conventions monarchy cloaks itself, it remains an eternal crime against which every man has the right to rise and to arm himself. Monarchy is an outrage which even the blindness of an entire people cannot justify; that people, by the example it gave, is guilty before nature, and all men hold from nature the secret mission to destroy such domination wherever it may be found. No man can reign innocently. The folly is all too evident. Every king is a rebel and a usurper. Do kings themselves treat otherwise those who seek to usurp their authority?
Citizens, the tribunal which ought to judge Louis is not a judiciary tribunal: it is a council; it is the people; it is you. Louis is an alien among us; he

I'm looking for biographies of French revolutionaries. A Google search found biographies for Robespierre, Danton, and Marat, but not for St. Just. That's disappointing, since to me he's actually the most fascinating figure of the revolution.
So my question is three parts:
What is your opinion of him?
Do you know of any good biographies of him?
If not, what are the best articles/links to learn more about him?
Thanks.
