 Has anyone ever read Young's Night Thoughts, which Camille supposedly took with him into prison? I just bought myself a mid 19th c. edition on Ebay for $10 and my feelings about reading it are difficult to put into words.

Do you know if he possessed a copy in the original English, or if it was a French edition?

(I know I already posted about my man tonight--don't you know it's a Camille attack rrrrrarrggggh!)

Mhm, too early for me. But theoretically not entirely impossible, which means it'd have to be checked. And it's an interesting task - *how* to prove whether Camille Desmoulins knew English, or any modern foreign language, well enough to read literature in original.
