Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 44: March and June, 1858 Of this work we shall have very little to say excepting that it is by far the most elaborate existing account of an important period, and throws considerable light upon the measures by which Henry IV. and his ministers restored the French monarchy after the convulsions of the religious wars. The author is more at home in details than in matters of greater moment; and the tendency both of his studies and of his opinions is such as enables him to represent his hero in the most favourable manner and to ignore or palliate his greatest faults. He professes himself a Gallican of the school of Bossuet; but his Gallicanisni in reality more nearly resembles that of the school of Richer or Dupin, and is marked by a contemptuous dislike of the authority of the Holy See. No principles could be more convenient to a writer who is determined, according to the traditional practice of biographers, to be the panegyrist of Henry, and none more utterly preclude a just appreciation of some of the principal features of his reign and character. Another serious deficiency is the little use M. Poirson has made of any but exclusively French sources of information. He has therefore, with all his industry, done little to explain the position of France towards other powers, and the part which Henry took in the great questions which agitated Europe in his time. We propose to examine one or two questions in which he has failed to connect the general policy of Henry with his attitude towards the religious movement.
