Synopsis

Histoire Parlementaire De La Révolution Française: Ou, Journal Des Assemblées Nationales, Depuis 1789 Jusqu'en 1815 by Prosper-Charles Roux; Philippe Joseph Benjamin Buchez. This volume is a historical and documentary compilation that traces parliamentary proceedings and debates during the French Revolution, with a particular focus on episodes of the Terror, the operations of the Revolutionary Tribunal, and the political machinery surrounding the Republic's justice system. Through a wealth of verbatim testimony and official records, it surveys the conduct of Carrier and the Nantes Revolutionary Committee, the role of prisons and garrisoned forces, and the contested authority of committees like Salut Public and Public Safety. The work analyzes allegations of mass executions, drownings on galiotes, and deportations, alongside debates about legality, humanity, and the limits of revolutionary justice. It also documents proposed reforms to the Tribunal's organization, procedures, and jurisdiction, and it contextualizes the Thermidor crisis and the fall of Robespierre within the broader arc of revolutionary government. The volume emphasizes the tension between revolutionary virtue and state violence, and it illuminates the mechanisms by which the law was wielded in wartime.
