Jacques Godechot’s 1963 book in the same vein, Les révolutions (1770–1799), was published in English translation two years later as France and the Atlantic Revolution of the Eighteenth Century, 1770–1799, trans. Herbert H. Rowen (New York, 1965); Godechot taught in Toulouse. More recently, Annie Jourdan, who teaches in Amsterdam, has published an updated view: La Révolution, une exception française? (Paris, 2004).
- Copy in the French Language together with a Translation of the Proceedings of a Jacobin Club formed at Seringapatam, by the French Soldiers in the Corps Commanded by M. Dompart (Madras, 1799).
- C.A. Bayly, The Birth of the Modern World, 1780–1914: Global Connections and Comparisons (Oxford, 2004), ch. 3, ‘Converging Revolutions’.
- When these broader questions are not posed, the meaning of a global context remains uncertain. See, for example, Joseph Klaits and Michael H. Haltzel, eds, The Global Ramifications of the French Revolution (Cambridge, 1994). The excellent essays in this collection show that the French Revolution had effects around the world but it does not use that knowledge to create a new understanding of the French Revolution itself.
- Palmer, The Age of the Democratic Revolution, I, pp. 146–56, II, p. 338. On the difficulties of incorporating the colonial, see Frederick Cooper, Colonialism in Question: Theory, Knowledge, History (Berkeley, CA, 2005), pp. 3–32.

Elborg Forster (Cambridge, 1981); Simon Schama, Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution (New York, 1989), p. 602; blurb for the Benot book at http://www.bibliomonde.net /livre/revolution-francaise-fin-des-colonies-1789-1794-4201.html (accessed 4 June 2009).
- The most efficient way to see the differences in Tocqueville’s treatment of France and the United States is to do a word search on Frantext available at http://humanities.uchicago.edu /orgs/ARTFL. I looked at esclave, esclavage, and colonies. For Tocqueville’s interest in Algeria, see Alexis de Tocqueville: Writings on Empire and Slavery, ed. and trans. Jennifer Pitts (Baltimore, 2001).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
