? ? Note on Internet Appendices and Bibliography
It is, regrettably, impossible to publish a full bibliography and extensive ap- pendices in this book. However, the Internet has enabled scholars to pro- vide longer appendices and bibliographies than were ever normally in- cluded in academic books, albeit at the cost of physically separating this material from the text of the book itself.
I have therefore placed the following material on my own permanent web site, www. davidbell. net:
French Quotations: The original French for all citations that appear in this book in translation.
Appendix I: Ten selected engravings of "illustrious Frenchmen" (includ- ing Joan of Arc and Marie de Medicis) done after paintings by Philippe Champaigne and Simon Voue? t in the Palais Royal (now destroyed), ini- tially published in Marc Vulson de la Colombie`re, Les portraits des hommes illustres franc? ois, Qui sont peints dans la galerie du Palais Cardinal de Richelieu, avec leurs principales Actions, Armes & Deuises (Paris, 1668), dis- cussed in Chapter 4.
Appendix II: The full text, including four engravings, of Antoine- Le? onard Thomas, Jumonville (Paris, 1759), discussed in Chapter 3.
Appendix III. The full text and a translation into English of Antoine- Hyacinthe Sermet, Discours prounounc? at dabant la legiou de Sant-Ginest, Pel. R. . P. Sermet, Exproubincial des Carme? s Descausse? s, Predicaire? ourdinari del Rey, &c. (Toulouse, 1790), discussed in Chapter 6.
Bibliography. A comprehensive guide to primary and secondary sources pertaining to patriotism and national identity in early modern and revolu- tionary France, and all other works cited in this volume.

? ? Note on Internet Appendices and Bibliography
It is, regrettably, impossible to publish a full bibliography and extensive ap- pendices in this book. However, the Internet has enabled scholars to pro- vide longer appendices and bibliographies than were ever normally in- cluded in academic books, albeit at the cost of physically separating this material from the text of the book itself.
I have therefore placed the following material on my own permanent web site, www. davidbell. net:
French Quotations: The original French for all citations that appear in this book in translation.
Appendix I: Ten selected engravings of "illustrious Frenchmen" (includ- ing Joan of Arc and Marie de Medicis) done after paintings by Philippe Champaigne and Simon Voue? t in the Palais Royal (now destroyed), ini- tially published in Marc Vulson de la Colombie`re, Les portraits des hommes illustres franc? ois, Qui sont peints dans la galerie du Palais Cardinal de Richelieu, avec leurs principales Actions, Armes & Deuises (Paris, 1668), dis- cussed in Chapter 4.
Appendix II: The full text, including four engravings, of Antoine- Le? onard Thomas, Jumonville (Paris, 1759), discussed in Chapter 3.
Appendix III. The full text and a translation into English of Antoine- Hyacinthe Sermet, Discours prounounc? at dabant la legiou de Sant-Ginest, Pel. R. . P. Sermet, Exproubincial des Carme? s Descausse? s, Predicaire? ourdinari del Rey, &c. (Toulouse, 1790), discussed in Chapter 6.
Bibliography. A comprehensive guide to primary and secondary sources pertaining to patriotism and national identity in early modern and revolu- tionary France, and all other works cited in this volume.
