FOOTNOTES:
[13] The Maximum laws were practically repealed by public
opinion after Thermidor. It does not appear that their actual repeal
at the end of December had any marked or immediate effect in
depressing the value of the Assignats. It was rather the new
issues which completed the Assignats' decline. That decline had
been going on steadily since 1791, and was not stopped, though
it may very probably have been delayed, by the legislation of the
Terror.
