To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What was original in it seemed so much bound up with ecclesiastical polemics, with the interests of the Eoman Catholic Church, with the political question of the relation of Church and State, that the free development of philosophical thought in the Protestant countries took little interest in it; on the other side, the development of free enquiry in matters of belief in France either assimilated in an eclectic spirit the ideas of German transcendentalism, or was occupied under the combined inf...luence of the spirit of exact research and of the sensational-philosophy of the eighteenth century in elaborating that system of Positive Thought through which at a later date France once more entered the arena of European speculation. Thus it comes that the religious philosophy of such thinkers as de Bonald, de Maistre, and de Lamennais has hardly found a place in the history of the subject ^ '- A notable exception to this general practice is to be found in the second volume of M. Ferraz's ' History of Philosophy in France during the Nineteenth Century ' (1S80), which deals with "Tradi- tionalism " and " Ultramontanisni." In the Preface the author thinks it necessary to justify the inclusion of these currents of thought in a 398 PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT.
