The appendix to vol. I contains a collection of 40 declarations, decrees, reports and speeches from the National Assembly. Vol. II contains Christie's translation of the French Constitution of 1791 (including the Declaration of Rights of Man and of the Citizen), which was also published separately by the Cercle Social.
