Chapter XI:

-Thiers, "Hist. de la Révolution."
----
calumniate: make false and defamatory statements about
Regarding Couthon being permitted to speak from his seat, we have this footnote from the author: M. Thiers in his History, Vol IV. p 79, makes a curious blunder: he says, "Couthon s'élance à la tribune." Poor Couthon! whose half body was dead, and who was always wheeled in his chair into the Convention, and spoke sitting.
The picture used is "The Fall of Robespierre in the Convention on 27 July 1794" by Max Adamo.
