Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Church and State in the Reign of Louis Philippe, 1830-1848: A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Princeton University, in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The Period of the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Empire and the Bourbon Restoration offers a curious contrast, for it presents in the brief space of forty-one years the thoughts and actions of two centuries, the one the nineteenth, the other the eighteenth. The first was modern while the second, viewed in the light of present day conditions, seems almost mediaeval. It is an odd coincidence that the modern theories and ideals of the latter half of the eighteenth century were rejected in the era of Napoleon and it is only after the July Revolution that what are known as Nineteenth Century principles, those very theories on which the Revolution was based, were expounded and put to practical use. The Revolution, then, did not end with the Congress of Vienna, nor, for that matter, with the July Revolution. Metternich and his satellites had deluded the French into accepting once more a Bourbon and had covered the reactionary medicine which they sought to administer to them with a coating of constitutionalism. But the Charter of 1814 had soon appeared in its true form, and became for the French a cause of disappointment in more ways than one, but principally because it had been an act of grace emanating from the monarch and granted by him to the people - "une charte octroyée." Then too it was a veiled deception, for its fourteenth article allowing the king to promulgate special laws in time of danger, had rendered null and void all the so-called liberties and political privileges granted to the people. If Louis XVIII did not perceive its weakness and consequently his own increased power, this was not to be the case with his brother the Comte d´Artois (later Charles X).
