Leaders of the French Revolution--Chapter on Saint-Just

I've compleated transcribig the chapter on Saint-Just from JM's Thompson's book Leaders of the French Revolution. Here are the links to my journal. Its surprisingly sympathetic to Saint-Just. (Considering Thompson's protege was Norman Hampson, who called Saint-Just a "satanic monster")

Part 1: Concerns his pre-revolution career (or what little of it there was)

Part 2: Concerns Saint-Just's political theories, and compares the "Terror" to other much more violent regimes in French History

Part 3: Concerns Saint-Just's appearence, and the "ideal revolutionary"

Part 4 and 5: Mission to the Rhine, and conclusion to the chapter

Now that the chapter on Saint-Just is done, which chapter would you like to see next? There is: Sieyes, Mirabeau, Lafayette, Brissot, Louvet, Danton, Fabre D'Eglantine, Marat, Robespierre, and Dumourez.

And you have my undying respect for that because I know first hand how long and tedious a task like that is. It's highly noble and generous of you!
