Hi! If you haven't found them already, there are some speeches/books online. This is a link (I hope it comes out OK in this post) to a site with extracts from several speeches by Robespierre and other revolutionaries and the philosophers who influenced them, in English translations, which you may find useful. http://www.marxists.org/reference/index.htm . I think it has the whole of Rousseau's 'Social Contact' up there! Click on the names and it will bring up a menu with a list of works. There are also some books online with Google books by 19th century historians - though a lot of them are quite hostile to the revolution - and parts of other books - if I can find the links again I'll post them up here.
