Cafepress/Barere's memoirs

[citoyenneclark.livejournal.com]

Out of curiosity I was wondering if people were intrested in Bertrand Barers memoirs. If you are I hope to start transcribing them over the summer. They are quite long, 4 vol. in total. But they are somewhat hard to find. My local library has a copy from 1895.

Also, I was thinking of creating some French rev stuff on cafepress. What kind of designs would you like? I'm brainstorming ideas right now

Barere's memoirs would be lovely. :) It's always interesting to be able to read material from someone that close to the actual events (even if it's someone I don't particularly care for, like Barere XD)

Though I wouldn't allways take his word for it. He seemed to have glorified himself quite a bit. And his editors (Carnot and David) There is a chapter called "The Great Carnot" (It sounds like a circus act.)

By the way, The first part of J.M Thompson's Leaders of the French REvolution's chapter on SAint-Just has been posted in my journal. Its quite intresting.

Oh, I'd be really interested in Barère's memoirs. I've always been interested in him.

Okay, I'll do that over the summer. By the way, what would you like to see on a French Revolutionary shirt?
