Notes

Benjamin Flower was a radical journalist and writer and member of the SCI. In his book on the French Constitution of 1791 he calls for a reform of the British Constitution. Contains a reprint of Thomas Christie's translation of the Constitution and of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and fragments of Christie's translation of the First Address of the National Assembly to their Constituents (see p. 10 and 92), probably copied from Christie's Letters on the Revolution of France (1791).
