*Mirabeau, _Correspondance avec La Marek_ (3 vols.); by far the most
important book on Mirabeau's policy and views. Dumont's _Souvenirs sur
Mirabeau_ are personal and very interesting.
Ferrières, _Mémoires_ (3 vols.); a good account of events down to the
10th August, from the point of view of an independent Conservative.
*Madame Roland, _Mémoires_.
Marat, Life, by Chèvremont.
Danton, Lives, by Bougeart and Robinet.
*Robespierre, an Essay by John Morley (Miscellanies, vol. I). M.
Hamel has published in three long volumes an elaborate _Histoire de
Robespierre_, which contains an enthusiastic panegyric of his hero.
St. Just, Life, by Hamel.
Pontécoulant, _Souvenirs historiques et parlementaires_ (4 vols.);
valuable for the period after Robespierre's fall.
(The Memoirs of Malouet, Bouillé, Dumouriez, Madame de Campan,
Bertrand de Molleville, Mallet du Pan, Garat, Barère and very many
others are all of interest and value.)
