Problematic tone

[edit]

This article lacks citations for many assertions. It also reads more as a historical story telling, than as an encyclopedic entry. For example: "It is more probable, however, that his gauche libel contributed to the Girondist downfall". According to who was his statement "gauche"? Was it in fact "libel"? These seem to be the author's opinions. Another: "He attached himself to the Girondists, whose vague deism, sentimental humanitarianism and ardent republicanism he fully shared,..." -- "vague diesm", "sentimental humanism", "ardent republicanism" are each problem phrases, again, reflecting the author's opinion. And another: "His courageous attitude at the king's trial..." and "displaying an incriminating courage" -- these phrases read as very partisan.

These assertions might be appropriate in a history essay, but do not belong in a Wikipedia entry. Such examples are found throughout the article.
