No, that's the one I mean. There are few speeches in it, at least, if I remember correctly, but you're right, that wasn't really the main point of it. It's a pity. One thing I want to do before I die (and by the time I finish I may well be old enough to die of old age) is to translate all of Robespierre's oeuvre into English. But it won't help anyone who wants to read him now; by the time I'm done, anyone who starts learning French now will have learned enough ten times over to read them in the original.
