The title page of the Annales de Chime changed repeatedly in the first few years of its publication in response to rapid changes brought about by the French Revolution. Initially it published with the permission and under the privilege of the Académie Royal des Sciences as reflected by the note at the bottom of the title page. With the National Assembly's assertion of freedom of the press in Article 11 of the "The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen" in 1789, the need for the Académie's permission was abolished and the privilege disappears in volume 5. The Académie itself was abolished with other state-supported societies on August 8, 1793. Article 1 of the declaration eliminated the special status and privileges of the nobility, but it was not until the decree of June 19, 1790, that hereditary nobility was explicitly abolished and citizens were barred from using noble titles. Accordingly, beginning with volume 9 all of the editors of the Annales drop their noble titles and Guyton de Morveau becomes simply "Guyton (formerly de Morveau)." In the same volume, the Baron de Dietrich, who had fled to Switzerland fearing for his life, was dropped from the masthead. He was eventually tried and executed on December 29, 1793. By volume 15, the editors had dropped even the title "Mm." for "Messieurs" or "Sirs." The final number of volume 18 was published in September 1793, two months before Lavoisier was arrested. He was executed on May 8, 1794. Publication of the Annales was then suspended until 1797.
