Reproduction, par les procédés héliographiques Motteroz, du Carnet de Robespierre trouvé sur lui au moment de son arrestation

A pocket notebook gathers administrative orders, lists, and strategic notes detailing the organization of revolutionary committees and the tribunal, the appointment and rotation of commissioners, and measures to detect and repress conspiracies. It addresses military logistics and campaign planning, distribution of arms and powder, requisitions, and the management of supplies and taxation to sustain armies and internal provisioning. Municipal oversight, prison supervision, and enforcement against counterrevolutionary clubs and journalists recur, alongside specific names and local instructions for execution. The text frames four central governmental priorities—subsistence, war, public spirit and conspiracies, and diplomacy—and recommends proportional correspondence, secrecy, and regular procedures for committee work.
