(Excerpt from Progrès de la Révolution Française en Anglet...)
Excerpt from Progrès de la Révolution Française en Angleterre La position de l'angleterre semble devoir la mettre 'a l'abri de la contagion; Fiers de leurs richesses pleins de confiance dans leur consti tution, les Anglais croyent pouvoir braver tous les elforts de la philosophie moderne, et voir avec indifférence lesmouvemens qui nous agitent. Un léger examen de la situation de l'angleterre, va peut - être nous démontrer que le mal a déja fait plus de progrès dans cette file, que par - tout ailleurs.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

He was born at Street Germain, entered the priesthood and was successively curé of Elan near Mézières, vicar-general of Pontoise (1747), bishop of Evreux (1753) and archbishop of Toulouse (1758), archbishop of Narbonne in 1763, and in that capacity, president of the estates of Languedoc.
He devoted himself much less to the spiritual direction of his diocese than to its temporal welfare, carrying out many works of public utility, bridges, canals, roads, harbours, et cetera Had chairs of chemistry and of physics created at Montpellier and at Toulouse, and tried to reduce poverty, especially in Narbonne. The pair were considered to be lovers, an arrangement considered scandalous even by the jaded standards of the day.
They maintained a household primarily at the chateau Hautefontaine, where Dillon kept an extravagant hunt.
Having refused to accept the civil constitution of the clergy, Dillon had to leave Narbonne in 1790, then to emigrate (accompanied by de Rothe) to Coblenz in 1791. Soon afterwards he and de Rothe fled to London, where they lived until his death in 1806, never accepting the Concordat of 1801, which had suppressed his archiepiscopal see.
Between March 2002 and June 2003, part of the Street Pancras Old Church graveyard was excavated in preparation for the London terminus of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. During archaeological investigation, Dillon"s body was found to have been buried wearing a set of porcelain dentures.
lieutenant is believed that he purchased them from a Parisian dentist named Nicholas De Chemant.
The body of Archbishop Dillon was returned to France in March 2007 and now lies in Narbonne Cathedral. On 19 May 2008, the porcelain dentures were accessioned into the Cobbe Museum (currently housed at Hatchlands, East Clandon)
Dillon"s name remains listed as one of the important missing graves on Baroness Burdett Coutts Memorial in Old Saint Pancras Churchyard.
Dillon won his great popularity not only as archbishop but also as promoter of great public works, such as roads, bridges, canals, harbors, etc.
