Summary (extracted citations)
Vol. I, appendix, p. 1: 'The following selection was made from the first thirty volumes of the Procès-Verbaux or Journals of the Assembly, published by themselves, and from various other journals and books. They consist either of papers necessary to illustrate the proceedings of the French legislators, or of such pieces as, from their interesting nature, will, I doubt not, be acceptable to most of my readers. A few of them have appeared already in English, but not very correctly translated, nor always from authentic originals. And though this had been otherwise, I believe most readers will find it convenient, to have all the information necessary on the subject, collected into one book'.
