For an excellent description of the organization of the Catholic Church, see Andre Mater, L'eglise catholique, sa constitution, son administration . The best edition of the canon law is that of Friedberg, 2 vols. . On the social work of the Church: E. L. Cutts, Parish Priests and their People in the Middle Ages in England , and G. A. Prevost, L'eglise et les campagnes au moyen age . The most recent and comprehensive study of the Catholic Church on the eve of the Protestant Revolt is that of Pierre Imbart de la Tour, Les origines de la Reforme, Vol.
"Have you heard that the 5th Regiment, as in 1830, has joined the people, and that, on their way to the Préfecture of Police to liberate some of the people who had been arrested, they stopped at the office of 'La Réforme, and were eloquently addressed by our friend, Louis Blanc?" "What did he say to them?"
They know what the life is like and the rude discipline of it does not shock them. But to the reforme, sent to barracks for the first time at thirty-five or forty years of age, it is a moral sacrifice which is almost unendurable.
Even before the Royal abdication was declared, even before it was signed, the troops of the Line in the courtyard of the palace infantry, artillery, dragoons to the number at least of twenty-five thousand, were summoned to surrender their posts, while the fraternal shout, "Vive la Ligne!" elicited from the lips of many of the soldiers the answering cry of "Vive la Réforme!"
That he has availed himself of that grand lever, the press, to accomplish his purposes, be they good or bad, seems equally certain. 'La Réforme, the new daily, is undoubtedly under his control, if not sustained by his pen and his purse, for it has a wider circulation than all the other Parisian papers put together.
Making a detour to the office of "La Réforme," the multitude were addressed by M. Flocon, its editor; then, proceeding to the Place de la Bastille, the corpses were deposited at the foot of the Column of July, and the crowd dispersed. The night that succeeded was an awful one. The streets, which an hour before blazed with the illumination, were dark. Barricades rose in every direction.
Caterina Selvaggio was one of the Queen's favourite Italian waiting-women. Sully, Mém. vol. iv. pp. 93, 94. Rambure, MS. Mém. vol. i. p. 332. Capefigue, Hist, de la Réforme, de la Ligue, et du Règne de Henri IV, vol. viii. pp. 147, 148. Histoire de la Mère et du Fils, a continuation of the Memoirs of Richelieu, incorrectly attributed to Mézeray, vol. i. p. 7.
His dress was plain but neat. Flocon was the chief editor of "La Réforme," the name of which indicates its character.
The streets were very unquiet, filled with armed men and women, for the troops had followed the ex-King to Neuilly and left Paris in the power of the people. He was in possession of his senses. He was surrounded by a troop of men crying "Our brave captain we have him yet he's not dead! VIVE LA REFORME!" This cry was responded to by all, and every one saluted him as he passed.
Both were in deepest mourning for the recent death of the beloved sister of the King, the Princess Adelaide. Upon this melancholy procession the people gazed with mingled curiosity, amusement, gratification and regret. "They are going to the Chamber of Deputies to complete the abdication!" cries one. "Vive la Réforme!" shouts another. "Vive la France!" shouts a second.
