Book Description
Excerpt from The Fortnightly Review, Vol. 12: July 1 to December 1, 1872 B would be a mistake to think that the republican movement in France has only a political character. The schools of science have also a powerful influence in the development of our ideas. Among them all the most prominent is the Positive School, whose general tendency is to substitute for theology and even metaphysics the purely human ideas which are indicated by reason, strengthened by experience, in harmony with nature, innate in the spirit, foreign to every transcendental tendency, and opposed to the supernatural. The series of fundamental ideas of this school is not at this moment a part of our theme, but its influence is clearly seen in the political and social tendency of the republican spirit of our time: Since the fourteenth century human reason has tended to rebel against the theocratic rule, and the human will to revolt against the feudal rule. This double spirit of opposition led in the Latin peoples to a monarchical and plebeian dictatorship; in the germanic-saxon peoples, to an aristocratic and Protestant dictatorship. But while this was taking place in the political and social world, human reason was gradually freeing itself by analytic efforts from theological ideas. The eighteenth century did much to accomplish this work. Political systems absorb ideas, as the plant the juices of the earth in which it grows. Three capital facts indicated the termination of the old theocratic state; first, the expulsion of the Jesuits, the army of authority and theology; second, the reforms of Turgot, which tended to found society upon a positive basis; third, the American revolution. All these facts were necessary preliminaries to the French revolution. This revolution was born in the midst of illusions, fancying it was to humanize its new ideas with the ancient monarchy; but the annihilation of the monarchy was the first result of the revolution.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Catholic Fortnightly Review, 1905, Vol. 12 I am satisfied that those who oppose this journal and the causes it strives to serve, will dislike and fear it none the less if it appear but twice a month; while its friends and supporters will prob ably relish its visits all the more keenly for their increased rarity. A word about the change of title. This journal was begun in the great metropolis on Lake Michigan, in 1893, as the chicago review. When after issuing the first number in a large edition, I made application at the Post Office for the second-class privilege, it turned out that another paper had already been entered under that name. The new venture having been advertised extensively, I did not like to drop the distinguishing title of review, and the re fore simply cut out the chicago. Thus my little journal acquired the broad name which has so often during the past eleven yea rs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
