Notes

Marat's translation was ready for publication from mid-October 1792, but unable to find a publisher willing to take it on, he self-published it. See his 'Prospectus des Oeuvres politiques et patriotiques de Marat', reprinted in 'Oeuvres Politiques, 1789-1793', 10 vols (Pole Nord, 1989), pp.4920-21.

For a discussion of the translation's history and chronology, see Jacques de Cock & Charlotte Goëtz (eds.), 'Marat, Les Chaînes de l'Esclavage, 1793/ The Chains of Slavery 1774' (Pole Nord, 1995), which presents the two editions side-by-side. See also the preface by Jean-Luc Chappey in 'Les Chaînes de l'esclavage' (Editions Laborintus, 2016).
