This volume contains (a) Constant’s remarkable speeches to the Tribunal, published after all available sources, including the minutes of the sessions, with records of all his interventions and of a lost speech, (b) fragments of an uncompleted work De la possibilite d'une constitution republicaine dans un grand pays, edited on the basis of all the manuscripts, © a number of other texts from the same period, and (d) a partial copy of Des circonstances actuelles by Mme de Stael, which left its mark on the uncompleted work and is essential to an informed understanding of the initial foundations of Constant’s political thinking. This rich collection of texts presented from an unwonted perspective is rounded off, as always, by a chronology, bibliographic resources, and an index of proper names.
