Reenactment Help!

[nirejseki.livejournal.com]

I'm doing a reenactment of some scenes from the French Revolution with my friends in a few weeks, and I was wondering - does anyone have an English translation of Camille Desmoulins' Aux Armes speech on July 12? The "jump on a table, pull out a pistol or two, and get everyone to wear green" speech; I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. ^^

Also, I'm looking for Saint-Just's "Report on the Dantonists" (again, in English - alas, I speak no French).

Anything else you can get me in English, I'd be grateful. Preferably by Robespierre, Desmoulins, Danton, Saint-Just, Marat, etc. All is welcome; presume we know nothing. ^_^

We have a pretty willing group, so if there's anything you'd like to see people in costume performing in front of a camera in Central Park or wherever it ends up being - please, either give me a link or email me at riderriddle@yahoo.com

(Also, if anyone knows a lot about costumes of specific people and can link me to something that has really good images, that would be very helpful! It's the little details, like "What did stockings look like" and "What type of shoes?" and "What do the sleeves look like again?" that really get you...and if you can answer any of those questions, that helps. ^^)

Thanks a lot!

Here is Saint-Just's last speech.
I belong to no faction. I will oppose them all. But factions can only be abolished by institutions, carrying with them guarantees; institutions which will trace the limits of the executive, and will once and for al time force human arrogance to submit to the yoke of the liberty of the people. Circumstances have decreed that this tribune should perhaps be the Tarpeian rock for him who would tell you that the Government has turned from the path of wisdom.

At this point in his speech, Tallien interrupts with a point of order, something along the lines of, Is this speech an individual speaking, or the will of the Committee? Yesterday's speaker spoke individually, which does not help the situation. As we need to work together.

And to put it in a cliche, after this, all hell broke loose.

He only got this far, I can post the rest of the speech if you are interested.

Oh, thanks! And yes, if you can post the rest of the speech, I'd be very interested!
