Note 269 — APPENDIX.
Eleanor Marx Aveling translation
Thiers and Jules Favre themselves have calumniated Paris less than Louis Blanc. The first says in the Enquéte sur le 18 Mars, vol. ii. p. 15: "It is not true, as has been asserted, that I had great difficulties with the Prussian Government concerning the Commune, or that it had any predilection for the latter." Jules Favre, vol. ii. p. 49; "I have seen nothing that could authorise me to accuse either the Bonapartists or Prussia. General Trochu has been mistaken. I have seen nothing that could authorise me to accuse the Bonapartists of having fomented the 18th March. After the insurrection of the 18th March, I spent my time in refusing the offers which were made me by the Prussians to assist in the overthrow of the Commune."
