France lived over again the fight against Charles X and the " Congrega- tion, " the Roman Question of 1849, the battle for and against Duruy at the close of the Empire, the two conflicts known as "the Moral Order" and "the Sixteenth of May" under MacMahon. All the forces of conservation, as we have said property, patriotism as embodied in the army, religion as em- bodied in the Catholic Church were arrayed against all the forces of Revolution Protestantism, Freethought, science, socialism. This... glorious conflagration of ideas and passions, this dramatic review of France's cultural history for the last hundred and fifty years, had a unique educative value ; but it brought no new message. On the contrary, its retrospective character was shown by the revival of half- forgotten fossils : even old Voltaire was galvanized on behalf of the Cause. * When the actual strife was over, it was realized that individualistic democracy of the Clemenceau brand, or materialistic, pseudo- scientific free-thought, were no longer the powers for progress they thought themselves to be.
