Students should be aware that estimates for the death total of the Reign of Terror vary widely, even among well-respected sources. Approximately 17,000 people were sentenced to die by revolutionary tribunals, and some scholars cite this number. However, for the larger death count of the Terror, historians generally add on two categories of people: those who died in prison during the terror (about 10,000–12,000) and people executed without trial under civil war conditions, possibly another 10,000–12,000.

In the Super Quiz Resource Guide, page 49, column 1, the 1^st sentence of the 4^th complete paragraph should read: “The ‘kiss of Lamourette’ has been passed over with a few indulgent smiles by historians who know that a little more than a month later the Assembly would fall apart….”

In the glossary of the Super Quiz Resource Guide, on page 60, the entry for “Assembly of Notables” should read as follows: “Assembly of notables – gathering in Feb. 1787, handpicked by King Louis XVI and composed almost entirely of nobles; convoked in the hopes that they would consent to increased taxes and help the king avoid bankruptcy; their refusal ultimately led the king to call the Estates-General.”

In the Super Quiz^TM Resource Guide, on page 18, there was a typo in the original article. The date given at the end of the 1^st sentence of the last paragraph of the 2^nd column should be April 8, 1787.
