Nevertheless the Introduction to the History of the Institute forms a whole which pursues a well-defined objective which was explained at the beginning of LS 5 and which we recall here. As the title indicates, it consists of placing at the disposal of a public interested in the History of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, a solid basis, while at the same time help- ing us to see the limits of our knowledge. It is the Institute, under diverse aspects, which is the object of this History and not primarily the various establishments run by the Brothers. When we speak of these establishments, it is merely by way of giving examples. For each of these volumes, the break-up into large periods takes account of the gaps to be found in the History of the Institute, placing them within the evolution of the soci- eties to which they belong. The different chapters follow the historical development, while the ‘complements’ after each chapter develop one or other aspect, often in a more synthetic perspective. If some of the ‘complements’ seem difficult to certain readers it is possible to avoid dwelling on them during a first reading. These studies are given by way of examples: others more in keeping with the expectations of the readers involved, could be proposed in the various Regions. The period studied here is limited to the years 1805-1875. This is on the one hand to avoid making the volume too ‘heavy’ and on the other hand because this period consti- tutes for the Institute a fairly homogenous ‘block’, coming before a period which will see notable change in the life of the Brothers, mainly in France - a change which will have a profound effect on the entire Institute. For the next stage the project will be the study of a period which will take in the last quarter of the 19th Century as well as the first years of the 20th, then the part of that cen- tury which is directly related to the preceding 30 years. In ending this introduction, the author and myself would like to thank the Brothers of many Districts who contributed to bringing about this volume by replying to a ques- tionnaire about the beginnings of the Institute in their country, and those who agreed to read over the paragraphs concerning their country. In anticipation we would also like to thank those Brothers who would like to contribute in the same way to the next volume. Br. Alain Houry, Director of Lasallian Studies ii EXPLANATIONS Explanations In the text: – The sign * sends the reader to the glossary (p. 234). – Double quotation marks “ ” are used when the expression comes from documents contemporary to the facts reported. – Single quotation marks ‘ ’ indicate an expression or quotation from a historian of another period. The family name and Christian name of Brothers is given in general the first time they are mentioned. – The word “Brother” when used on its own refers to a Brother of the Christian Schools. Whenever it refers to a Brother of another congregation, this is indicated. – The names of cities are given in the language of the country except in the case of large cities whose names are normally translated into other languages. – For French cities, the Départment to which they belong can be found by consulting the map on p. 69. – When books are quoted or given in reference merely under the name of the author, the title of the book has been given above but more complete information on these works can be found at the end of this volume. – Some maps have been intro- duced into the text by reason of their special character.

GENERAL HISTORICAL CONTEXT 1 INTRODUCTION: GENERAL HISTORICAL CONTEXT It is impossible to give a complete outline of the History of the 19th Century for the whole world. Here, therefore, we will confine ourselves to certain aspects which have influenced the History of the Institute during the first three quarters of the Century, lim- iting ourselves to Europe and its former dependencies on the American continent. Two major facts influenced the 19th Century. On the one hand there was the progress and the spreading of the principles which had inspired the American and French Revolutions at the end of the 18th Century; and on the other hand, industrial develop- ment. A certain number of consequences of these facts have a bearing on the study we wish to carry out in the present work. Repercussions of the spreading of the revolutionary principles Those involved in the American and French Revolutions found their inspiration in the philosophy of the Enlightenment (“les Lumières”). The principles on which their work was based called into question the very basis of political, social and religious order which constituted what has been called the “Ancien Regime” *, notably: – they substituted for dynastic principles that of popular sovereignty; – in the name of the primacy of individual freedom they suppressed the ‘intermediary bod- ies’ between the individual and the State: trade guilds, Religious Orders; – in recognizing that everyone had a right to follow the religion of his choice and in freeing political power from ecclesiastical authority they went against the notion of a State religion. The concrete application of these principles brought about the union of the citizens of the United States. In France, the way in which the Revolution evolved brought it into conflict with determined adversaries, especially among those who had been its chief victims - nobles, Catholics. In contrast to this there were also many, who, after the Revolution, remained attached either to its attainments or to its principles, notably among the members of the bourgeoisie for whom the new order of things allowed them to accede to

Long Live the Revolutions: Fighting for France's Political Future in the Long Wake of the Commune, 1871-1880 Abstract The traumatic legacies of the Paris Commune and its harsh suppression in 1871 had a significant impact on the identities and voter outreach efforts of each of the chief political blocs of the 1870s. The political and cultural developments of this phenomenal decade, which is frequently mislabeled as calm and stable, established the Republic's longevity and set its character. Yet the Commune's legacies have never been comprehensively examined in a way that synthesizes their political and cultural effects. This dissertation offers a compelling perspective of the 1870s through qualitative and quantitative analyses of the influence of these legacies, using sources as diverse as parliamentary debates, visual media, and scribbled sedition on city walls, to explicate the decade's most important political and cultural moments, their origins, and their impact.

Chapel Hill 2015 Approved By: Lloyd S. Kramer Jay M. Smith Donald M. Reid © 2015 Lindsay Ayling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Lindsay Ayling: State Power, Popular Resistance, and Competing Nationalist Narratives in France, 1791-1871 (Under the direction of Lloyd S. Kramer) In this thesis, I analyze rhetoric surrounding three events in which violence erupted between the French authorities and the French “people”: the Champ de Mars massacre of 1791, the June Days revolt of 1848, and the Paris Commune of 1871. Studying newspapers, speeches, images, memoirs, and literature, I argue that in producing competing narratives surrounding these events, politicians and polemicists also shaped competing conceptions of the French nation. In order to justify a given position, they associated either “the people” or the military with French symbols, values, and ideals while presenting their opponents as the national enemy. With each subsequent civil struggle, they appropriated and altered previous narratives, thereby constructing evolving but still irreconcilable versions of the nation. I conclude that because nationalism fractures on ideological lines, it is impossible

When the translator first began spending leisure hours on this book, he felt little interest, and would have spoken of his occupation in the tone of apology. He was wrong. He has almost unconsciously given to the American public a great work full of the burning genius of a great author. If this volume is not read and valued, it will not be its own fault ; for if it has any fault, and it has many, the first among them appears to him to be the worthy one, that it is too keen in its delicate satire, too fine in its exquisite wit for the dull ears, or, we should rather say, the dull eyes of too many who will look into it.

ONLINE EDITION .................................... December 2003 NEW YORK LABOR NEWS P.O. BOX 218 MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA 94042-0218 http://www.slp.org/nyln.htm ILLUSTRATIONS Louis Bonaparte was mercilessly satirized in cartoons and caricatures until the coup. The iron censorship he imposed thereafter put a temporary halt to the lampooning in France. However, the European cartoonists outside France took up where their French colleagues had been compelled to leave off. The greatest pen and pencil artists of France had meanwhile succeeded in recording the corruption and scoundrelism of the little man who, through the magic of the name Napoleon, had managed for a time to follow in his uncle’s footsteps. These great artists, true social satirists of the highest order, included such outstanding men as Honore Daumier (born 1808), Andre Gill (Gosset de Guines, born 1840), Gavarni (Guillaume Sulpice Chevalier, born 1804), Grandville, Bertall, Faustin and many others. Daumier was the greatest of these—an immortal among artists and social satirists.

  • Correspondence & Conversations of Alexis De Tocqueville with Nassau
    CORRESPONDENCE &> CONVERSATIONS OF Alexis de Tocqueville WITH Nassau William Senior FROM 1834 TO 1859 * , • EDITED BY M. C M. SIMPSON JN TWO VOLUMES VOLUME I. LONDON Henry S. King & Co., 65 Cornhill 1872 LONDON : PRINTED BY SPOTTISWOODE AND CO., NEW-STREET SQUARE AND PARLIAMENT STREET All rights reserved PREFACE. One day in the year 1833 a knock was heard at the door of the Chambers in which Mr. Senior was sitting at work, and a young man entered who announced himself in these terms: 'Je suis Alexis de Tocqueville, et je viens faire votre connaissance,' He had no other intro- duction. Alexis de Tocqueville was at that time unknown to fame. His great work on America had not yet ap- peared. Mr. Senior, however, perceived at once the extra- ordinary qualities of his new acquaintance. M. de Tocqueville became a frequent visitor in Mr. Senior's house, and the intimacy thus begun was continued by letter or conversation without interruption (indeed every year drew it closer) until the premature death of Tocqueville in 1859. Soon after that event Mr. Senior collected and ar- ranged his letters and conversations with a view to ' iv Preface. their publication at some future time : some extracts from them appeared in the ' Memoir of Tocqueville pubHshed in 1861. I have thought it would add to the interest of the correspondence to print Mr. Senior's letters, which were sent to me by M. de Beaumont after my father's death. I wish that I could have reproduced the French as well as the English originals, as I cannot hope in a translation to give an idea of the force or the grace of M, de Tocqueville's style.
