_assignats_ for valuable property went on at periods of the rapid
depreciation of paper, see Challamel, "Les français sous la
Révolution," p. 309; also Say, "Economic Politique."

[65] For a very complete table of the depreciation from day to day,
see "Supplement to the Moniteur" of October 2, 1797; also Caron, as
above. For the market prices of the _louis d'or_ at the first of
every month, as the collapse approached, see Montgaillard. See also
"Official Lists" in the White Collection. For a table showing the
steady rise of the franc in gold during a single week, from 251 to 280
_francs_, see Dewarmin, as above, vol. i, p. 136.

Nouveau Paris," vol. ii, p. 90; for curious example of the scales of
depreciation see the White Collection. See also extended table of
comparative values in 1790 and 1795. See Levasseur, as above, vol. i,
