produced by them, see Challamel, "Les Français sous la Révolution";

For the Report referred to, see Levasseur, "Histoire des classes
ouvriès et de l'industrie en France de 1789 à 1870," Paris, 1903,
vol. i., chap. 6. Levasseur (vol. 1, p. 120), a very strong
conservative in such estimates, sets the total value of church
property at two thousand millions; other authorities put it as high as
twice that sum. See especially Taine, liv. ii, ch. I., who gives the
valuation as "about four milliards." Sybel, "Gesch. der
Revolutionszeit," gives it as two milliards and Briand, "La
séparation" &c., agrees with him. See also De Nerve, "Finances
Françaises," vol. ii, pp. 236-240; also Alison, "History of Europe,"
vol. i.

of Frenchmen, see Challamel, "Sur la Révolution," p. 305. For
general history of John Law's paper money, see Henri Martin, "Histoire
de France"; also Blanqui, "Histoire de l'économie politique,"
vol. ii, pp. 65-87; also Senior on "Paper Money," sec. iii, Pt. I,
also Thiers, "Histoire de Law"; also Levasseur, op. cit. Liv. i.,
chap. VI. Several specimens of John Law's paper currency are to be
found in the White Collection in the Library of Cornell
University,--some, numbered with enormous figures.

not so well secured as John Law's money, see Storch, "Economie
