AANTEKENINGEN bij Lynn Hurst, The French Revolution and Human Rights. A Brief History with Documents, Bedford/St. Martin's: Boston/New York, 1996

In het begin van mijn onderzoek was dit boek heel nuttig, omdat er veel belangrijke stukken in stonden.`Maar later had ik de originelen van die stukken en dat bleek toch beter te werken. Daarom geef ik hieronder alleen de inhoud van het boek weer, vooral voor mensen die zulke teksten liever in het Engels lezen.

Een gedeeltelijke vertaling van Etta's Discourse van 3 december 1790 staat bij nummer 35. Dat staat inmiddels ook op internet (met foute datum), zie hier.
