Political Speeches

Some of these already had English translations available but I have begun translating the others myself. I am studying for an MA in Translation but I've never tackled anything of this nature before. They are quite difficult so I have just done the best that I can. Once I have versions of them all up I will go back through and check them all again. If anyone notices any problems, please do let me know and I'll try to amend them.

These are all from various internet sites or the "Oeuvres de Maximilien de Robespierre" - published by the Societe des etudes robespierristes
