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.

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.

Charles de Montalembert was born in London on April 15, 1810, while his father, who had left France after the Revolution, was serving in the English army. His father returned to France in 1814, when the monarchy was restored, and was raised to the peerage, but Charles stayed behind in the care of his Protestant English grandfather.
As a student in France in the 1820, he began to see more clearly that the Church should be free and on the side of the people rather than under the control of the kings. Much of France's trouble, he felt, came from the close association of the Roman Catholic Church with the French government. In 1830 he collaborated with Félicité de Lamennais, a liberal priest, and Jean Baptiste Lacordaire, an articulate preacher, in publishing a journal called L'Avenir, dedicated to "God and Liberty. "The journal argued that the Church ought to cut itself off from the government's support. The opposition to L'Avenir from conservative French bishops brought Montalembert, Lamennais, and Lacordaire to Rome in 1831 to argue their case before Pope Gregory XVI-un-successfully, as it turned out. Most of L'Avenir's doctrines were condemned in two encyclicals by the Pope: Mirari vos (1832) and Singulari vobis (1834). Montalembert continued to speak and write, however, and he began a newspaper, Correspondant, to provide a public forum for his ideas, which were a mixture of Catholic belief and liberal politics. Over the years he consistently taught that the Church should live without special privileges and that it should support democratic movements. He said that slavery should be outlawed and was opposed to the French colonial empire. He also worked hard to establish Catholic schools so that the government would not have a monopoly on education. In 1837 Montalembert was elected to the French Parliament; after the Revolution of 1848 he sat in the Chamber of Deputies; and in 1851 he was honored by being named to the French Academy. He was recognized as a formidable opponent of the empire. An international congress in Malines, Belgium, in 1863 heard Montalembert's memorable speech calling for Catholics to embrace democracy rather than fear it. But his hopes for his Church were crushed a year later, when Pope Pius IX declared in his Syllabus of Errors that it was wrong to say the Pope should "reconcile himself . .. with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization. " Montalembert died in Paris on March 13, 1870.
